	MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia: Serum sickness
		Serum sickness is a group of symptoms caused by a delayed immune response to certain medications or antiserum (passive immunization with antibodies from an animal or another person).
		Serum sickness is a hypersensitivity reaction similar to an allergy.
		Serum sickness is different from anaphylactic shock, which is an immediate reaction with more severe symptoms.

	Serum creatinine
		Measuring serum creatinine is a useful and inexpensive method of evaluating renal dysfunction.
		The serum creatinine level does not rise until at least half of the kidney's nephrons are destroyed or damaged.
		Measurement of serum creatinine is important because it is a inexpensive and reliable indicator of renal function.

	Serum Sickness \| AHealthyMe.com
		Serum sickness is a type of delayed allergic response, appearing four to 10 days after exposure to some antibiotics or antiserum, the portion of serum that contains antibodies, such as gamma globulin, which may be given to provide immunization against some diseases.
		Although the symptoms of serum sickness may be similar to other conditions, patients who present with symptoms of serum sickness and who have a recent history of exposure to a drug or other product which may cause this type of reaction should be suspected of having serum sickness.
		Most serum sickness reactions are mild, and disappear on their own after one or two weeks as long as the cause is removed.

	Serum Potassium
		Serum potassium is measured by the use of a flame photometer or ion-selective electrode.
		In interpreting serum potassium, it should be kept in mind that because the intracellular potassium concentration is approximately fortyfold greater than the extracellular concentration, any maneuver that would result in the release of a small amount of intracellular potassium will erroneously raise serum potassium.
		This is caused by the release of potassium from cellular components of blood during the process of clotting and, less commonly, by the release of potassium from ischemic muscle cells due to tight tourniquet or hand/arm exercise during the blood-drawing process.

	Blood plasma - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Serum refers to blood plasma in which clotting factors (such as fibrin) have been removed.
		Serum is also commonly used as a supplement added to a particular cell culture media to ensure a successful growth of the cells.
		Serum albumin replaced dried plasma for combat use during the Korean War.

	Sterile Foetal Bovine (Calf) Serum
		Serum is commonly used as a supplement to basal growth medium in cell culture.
		The selection of a serum supplement for cell culture applications is primarily dependent on the chemical definition of the basal medium, the type of cell to be grown, and the culture system being employed.
		While whole serum is permissible for routine purposes, studies involving nutritional parameters or incorporation of labeled material require that the constituent under study be removed from the serum.

	Serum Sickness
		Serum sickness results from a reaction to an antigen, a protein that the body recognizes as foreign.
		Serum sickness will usually develop within 7 to 10 days after initial exposure to the antigen; at times, however, the reaction does not develop until as long as three weeks later.
		Because of their potential to cause serum sickness, serum from animals should be avoided unless there is no other treatment option.

	Serum Osmolality
		Serum osmolality is controlled partly by a hormone called antidiuretic hormone (ADH), or vasopressin.
		In response to an increase in serum osmolality, ADH is released, which reduces the amount of water excreted by the kidneys.
		High serum osmolality can indicate too little water in the body (dehydration), high levels of sodium or sugar in the blood, or buildup of urea in the blood (called azotemia or uremia).

	Serum definition - Medical Dictionary definitions of popular medical terms
		Serum differs from plasma, the liquid portion of normal unclotted blood containing the red and white cells and platelets.
		The term "serum" also is used to designate any normal or pathological fluid that resembles serum as, for example, the fluid in a blister.
		"Serum" is a Latin word that refers to the "whey", the watery liquid that separates from the curds in the process of cheesemaking.

	Saliva Hormone Testing
		Serum is the essentially the same as plasma except that fibrinogen has been removed.
		Thus, progesterone measured by serum levels is mostly a measure of progesterone that is not going to be used by the body.
		A serum test can be used to compare one woman's progesterone production to that of another woman, or to test how much progesterone is being made by a woman's ovaries.

	Serum Protein Electrophoresis (SPE)
		Serum protein electrophoresis uses an electrical field to separate the proteins in the blood serum into groups of similar size, shape, and charge.
		Serum protein electrophoresis is most often done to screen for multiple myeloma, a rare type of cancer that causes overproduction of a type of the antibody IgM (Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia), or a disease that causes an abnormal buildup of protein in various body organs (amyloidosis).
		Serum protein electrophoresis may be done to evaluate hypogammaglobulinemia (HGG), a condition characterized by low levels of gamma globulin antibodies.

	Serum Chloride
		When the serum chloride determination by the autoanalyzer is out of proportion to the determination by the chloride titrator technique, the presence of bromide is highly probable, and a serum bromide analysis should be performed.
		Conditions causing an elevation of the serum chloride concentration and a concomitant elevation of the serum sodium concentration result primarily from disorders associated with loss of electrolyte-free fluids (pure water loss); hypotonic fluids (water deficit in excess of sodium and chloride deficits); or administration of NaCl-containing fluids.
		Elevated levels of serum chloride without increased levels of serum sodium occur as a result of clinical conditions that predispose to a hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis.

		Your description sounds like an atypical serum sickness reaction to me. Although serum sickness reactions typically start 7-10 days after the stimulus, it is conceivable that your wife's prior insect stings may have altered her immune responses to insect stings so that she started reacting a bit sooner.
		However, if her recent sting reaction was severe, it may be preferable to obtain serum for in vitro testing for the IgE antibodies.
		However, at the end of the hospitalization, a diagnosis of probable serum sickness was made.

		Serum cryoglobulins, which in effect are circulating immune complexes in vivo, may be present in some patients with serum sickness.
		Secondary serum sickness is the result of antigen recognition by presensitized cells of the immune system, and this disorder is characterized by a shorter latent period, exaggerated symptoms, and a brief clinical course.

	ProteomeLab™ IgY -- Plasma/Serum Protein Partitioning Solutions
		In serum and plasma, the dynamic range of proteins spans over 10 orders or magnitude, far greater than the measurement capability of current technologies.
		Protein depletion has been used for some years to remove most of the albumin and/or IgG from biofluids such as plasma and serum prior to analysis, but it is clear that this alone is insufficient to enable progress to be made in biomarker discovery.
		Imagine taking the equivalent of 50 mg of plasma or serum protein for a single fractionation experiment – this in fact is what you will be doing by combining the capacity of the ProteomeLab IgY-12 LC10 column with the fractionation power of the ProteomeLab PF 2D system.
