SERUM COMPONENTS
In blood, the serum (UK /ˈsɪərəm/ or US /ˈsɪrəm/) is the component that is neither a blood cell (serum does not contain white or red blood cells) nor a clotting factor; it is the blood plasma with the fibrinogens removed. Serum includes all proteins not used in blood clotting (coagulation) and all the electrolytes, antibodies, antigens, hormones, and any exogenous substances (e.g., drugs and microorganisms).
The study of serum is serology, and may also include proteomics. Serum is used in numerous diagnostic tests, as well as in blood typing.
