The detector to identify infections with the virus or not isa.pregnancy urine testb.HIV testc.The diabetic blood testd.Microscopes

Nucleic acid detection techniques:ANSWERare less sensitive than the antigen–antibody-based tests.can detect new viruses and early-stage infections that antibody–antigen tests are likely to miss.are much slower than the antigen–antibody-based tests.are used to culture animal viruses in the lab.

Which of the following would be the best way to detect whether someone was infected with a virus, like HIV?Group of answer choicesCheck for an inflammatory response in the body.Check for the presence of antibodies in the blood.Check for the presence of white blood cells in the blood.Check for the presence of histamines in the body.

Why are immunological diagnostic tools a better choice than biochemical tools in identifying a variety of cellular as well as viral pathogens?ANSWERImmunologic diagnostics provide fast results, usually within 24 to 48 hours.Both immunologic and biochemical tools are routinely used to identify a variety of cellular as well as viral pathogens.Immunologic diagnostics can identify noncellular pathogens like viruses that lack their own biochemical processes.Immunological tests are quick culturing methods for infectious agents.
