The Laboratory of Immunology deals with researches in three areas, such as immunology,
allergy and immunochemistry.
Several specific areas of research have been selected by the Laboratory as deserving
high priority in the nearest future. First, the development of tools capable of
activating immune system and increasing human body resistance to harmful exposures;
second, and probably of equal importance, are the tools that speed up the rehabilitation
of immune status in individuals subjected to immunity-depressing exposures to adverse
factors. There is need to develop new more appropriate methods for express diagnosis
of autosensitization and tools that can contribute to diminishing and the correction
of autosensitization. Immunochemical methods are being developed to facilitate the
task of revealing the presence of adverse substances in the environment and biological
media.
Some specific sera, that have been developed in the Laboratory, when used for identification
in immunoassays, allow sensitive and accurate detection of autosensitization condition,
as well as an appropriate antigen. This opens the way for effective therapy aimed
at preventing or decreasing a level of sensitization, and makes it possible to follow
the course of treatment, to correct curative measures and to evaluate immune status.
Another field of immune sera application is immunochemical analysis of an interest
substance in the environment and biological media.
