Final answer:
In a serology laboratory, both the Strep test and the Influenza test are performed to detect the presence of specific antigens, and thus the correct answer to the student's question is E. Both C and D.
Step-by-step explanation:
The tests performed in a serology laboratory typically involve the detection of antibodies or antigens to determine the immune response to pathogens such as viruses and bacteria. Options C. Strep test and D. Influenza test are both examples of tests that would be performed in a serology laboratory to check for the presence of specific viral or bacterial antigens. Moreover, tests such as direct immunologic urine pregnancy test involve serological methods as well, as they detect the presence of human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) using immunochromatographic assays, which are a form of rapid serological testing. Therefore, the correct answer is E. Both C and D. Additionally, tests like the direct and indirect ELISA, EIA, and Coombs' test (direct and indirect) are often conducted in a serology laboratory to diagnose various conditions and diseases.
