If Clinical Immunologists Can't Be Chemists, Should They Be Population Biologists?

Measurements of antibodies play critical roles in evaluating autoimmune and infectious diseases. In many situations, standardization of antibody measurement is not available or not possible. Alternative approaches to measurement that rely on population distribution of antibody measures may be helpful to provide clinically useful semi-quantitative information. Examples from the clinical immunology laboratory involving testing antibodies to nuclear antigens (ANA) and antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 will be presented.
