Animal Health Diagnostic Center - Laboratory Sections
Serology/Immunology
 
 
Dr. Bettina Wagner (Director)
The Serology/Immunology Section of the Animal Health Diagnostic Center seeks to develop and use fully validated serological assays to detect analytes (antibodies, antigens, etc.) for disease/infection conditions in food and fiber producing animals, companion animals, and zoo species. Assays are validated according to criteria we published in the OIE International Standards Manual for serological assays. Quality control, with accurate and reproducible results, is our primary goal. The inferences of test results are interpreted to inform veterinarians beyond the usual serological values that are reported.
