serological
Concerning antibody detection
Serological means relating to serology—the scientific study of blood serum, particularly its immune properties.
Serological tests detect antibodies or antigens in blood to diagnose infections, determine blood types, or confirm immunity: serological testing for HIV, serological evidence of prior exposure.
The field became central to disease surveillance during epidemics.
