The rapid development in the fields of immunology, biochemistry and biotechnology had a strong impact for immunodiagnosis. The use of monoclonal antibodies, recombinant antigens and synthetic peptides has considerably improved many diagnostic techniques. However, considerations on the meaning of a test result (on the basis of the concept of predictive values) are of prime importance: false use and inappropriate knowledge of the limitations of a technique can lead to diagnostic errors.
免疫学、生物化学和生物技术领域的快速发展对免疫诊断产生了重大影响。单克隆抗体、重组抗原和合成肽的使用显著改进了许多诊断技术。然而，基于预测值概念对检测结果意义的考量至关重要：技术使用不当以及对其局限性认识不足可能导致诊断错误。
