Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Serological testing relies upon the specificity of the variable regions of antibodies, which bind to a specific antigen. The Fc region is not involved in binding to antigens and is only important for other functions of antibodies such as opsonization and complement activation. The patient's immune status and the level of pathogen load can affect the sensitivity and accuracy of serological testing but are not the primary factors determining its success.
