This term was created for, but not limited in use to, the Light Diagnostics, Respiratory Panel Viral Screening and Identification IFA kit, for the qualitative identification of Adenovirus, Influenza A, Influenza B, Parainfluenza 1, 2, 3, and Respiratory Syncytial virus in cell culture, which uses an indirect immunofluorescence technique for identifying virus in infected cell cultures. The monoclonal antibodies in this kit are group specific for adenovirus, and thus they cannot be used to differentiate types.

property
PrThr = Present or threshold: The Property PrThr stands for “Presence or Threshold”, meaning either a) the actual presence or absence of an analyte, or b) that the amount of analyte detected is over some predetermined threshold.
time
Pt = Point in time: To identify measures at a point in time. This is a synonym for “spot” or “random” as applied to urine measurements.
IF = Immune Fluorescence: Encompasses DFA, IFA, FA. Usually applies to cells and smears examined microscopically so that both the “where” and the “what” can be assessed, but can also be used on fluids in a way similar to ELISA. Does not include Cell binding assays (see CBA IFA above).
