Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Seroconversion refers to the development of antibodies against a particular infectious agent, resulting in a change from negative serum (no antibodies) to positive serum (antibodies are present). ELISA is an antibody detection assay that can be used to detect the presence of specific antibodies in a serum sample. Complement fixation is a laboratory test to detect the presence of antibodies in serum against a particular antigen. Serum reversion is not a term commonly used in immunology or microbiology.
