| name | Bacillus anthracis lethal factor Ab [Presence] in Serum by Immunoassay | ||
| description | This term represents the assay which detects antibodies against the lethal factor component of the anthrax toxin produced by Bacillus anthracis. This assay is crucial for understanding immune responses to anthrax exposure, aiding in diagnosis of anthrax infection, and evaluating vaccine efficacy. It can be performed on serum and venous whole blood samples (using dipotassium EDTA, sodium citrate, or sodium heparin as anticoagulants) from individuals with signs and symptoms consistent with inhalation anthrax and a likelihood of exposure.

| component | Bacillus anthracis lethal factor Ab | ||
| 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. | ||
