In medicine and immunology, a immunologic test is any test that uses immunologic techniques.[1]

Regarding types of substrates being tested, immunoassays and agglutination tests use blood samples and immunohistochemistry tests use tissue samples.

Regarding methodology, the immunoassays enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and Western blot, along with the tissue immunohistochemistry fluorescent antibody technique all test the direct binding of antibody to antigen. Agglutination tests such as hemagglutination tests and latex agglutination tests test secondary antigen and antibody interactions.
