Testing for Antibodies and Proteins Levels

The lab analyst performs crossed, or two dimensional, immunoelectrophoresis, IEP, to evaluate a patient specimen for the amounts and types of certain proteins, called immunoglobulins. The body produces immunoglobulins, also called antibodies, that activate as part of the immune response to neutralize specific invaders such as bacteria or viruses.
