Tree Number(s): E01.370.225.500.607.512.240; E01.370.225.750.551.512.240; E05.200.500.607.512.240; E05.200.750.551.512.240; E05.478.583.375
Unique ID: D005455
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D005455
Annotation: general or unspecified; prefer specifics
Scope Note: Test for tissue antigen using either a direct method, by conjugation of antibody with fluorescent dye (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, DIRECT) or an indirect method, by formation of antigen-antibody complex which is then labeled with fluorescein-conjugated anti-immunoglobulin antibody (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, INDIRECT). The tissue is then examined by fluorescence microscopy.
Entry Term(s): Antinuclear Antibody Test, Fluorescent; Coon's Technic; Coon's Technique; Fluorescent Antibody Technic; Fluorescent Antinuclear Antibody Test; Fluorescent Protein Tracing; Immunofluorescence; Immunofluorescence Technic; Immunofluorescence Technique
