• The quality of the immune response itself can be assayed
• Is it functioning appropriately
• Is it causing disease such as auto-immunity
• RF factors, ANA, LE preps
• Assays can also be used to determine specific amounts of components
• Cell counts
• Protein counts
• Other assays for infectious disease and neoplasms typically involve the binding of antigen to antibody
• Assay for antigen OR antibody
