[Immunologic monitoring: what's new?].
The monitoring of the immune response is not very sensitive. In addition, assays that could allow the quantification of the immune response are missing or not performed by most of routine laboratory. Coming from the research, new approaches and new technologies have revolutionized the monitoring of the immune response. Several of these new approaches are part of the routine to monitor the immune response. Some others, still in development, will also be part of the new assays propose by the laboratories to increase the specificity and the quantification of the immune function.
