	Serology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Serology is a medical blood test to detect the presence of antibodies in the blood serum.
		Such antibodies may be formed against a microorganism, against other foreign proteins (in response, for example, to a mismatched blood transfusion), or to one's own proteins, in instances of autoimmune disease.
		Serology blood works does diagnose properly patients of certain immune deficiencies that lack antibodies such as X-linked agammaglobulinemia, and always give a negative result.

	SEROLOGY
		Forensic serology is the application of the study of blood, semen, saliva and other body fluids to legal matters.
		The field generally is comprised of the detection of enzymes and antigens, as in the identification of seminal stains or blood typing (ABO and secretor status) and DNA typing (by PCR or RFLP analysis).
		An interesting application of combined forensic toxicology and forensic serology is the identification of mislabeled urine and blood samples based upon the correct assessment of their blood groups.
