Serological testing relies upon

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Serological testing relies on the specificity of the variable regions of antibodies, also known as the antigen-binding sites. These regions are highly specific to the antigen that they recognize and can be used to detect the presence of specific pathogens or molecules in a patient's serum. The Fc region of antibodies is not involved in antigen recognition and therefore is not directly relevant to serological testing. The other choices are also incorrect as immunocompromised patients can still produce antibodies, and the viral or bacterial load does not necessarily determine the effectiveness of serological testing.
