These tests help healthcare professionals diagnose various diseases, infections, or conditions by detecting the presence of specific antibodies produced by the patient's immune system.
It's important to note that the specific antigens used in these diagnostic tests can vary depending on the target disease or condition being tested for. Different antigens may be used for different tests, and they are often provided in the form of reagents, test kits, or sets to ensure accurate and reliable results.
