immunochemistry
Antibody-based analytical methods
Immunochemistry is the branch of chemistry dealing with the chemical aspects of immunology—particularly the structure and function of antibodies, antigens, and their interactions.
The field underpins diagnostic techniques like ELISA tests and Western blots, where chemical reactions detect specific immune molecules: Immunochemistry has revolutionized how we identify pathogens in blood samples.
