What Does TP Stand For?
TP stands for Tuberculin Precipitation
Tuberculin Precipitation (TP) is a biochemical assay used to detect the presence of specific antibodies in serum samples through the formation of a visible precipitate. This technique is primarily employed in the diagnosis of tuberculosis, where it helps to identify immune responses to the tuberculin antigen. By utilizing the principles of antigen-antibody interactions, TP provides valuable insights into the immunological status of individuals potentially infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
