Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Indirect fluorescent antibody tests utilize anti-human antibodies (specific for human IgG antibodies) with fluorescent molecules attached to detect the presence of specific antibodies in a sample. This method involves two steps: first, the target antigen is bound by the patient's antibody, and then the anti-human antibody with a fluorescent label is used to bind to the patient's antibody, allowing visualization under a fluorescent microscope.
