AB  - Reactions  of  antigens  and  antibodies  are  highly  specific.  An  antibody  will  react  only  with  the  antigen  that  induced  it  or  with  a  closely  related  antigen.  Because  of  the  great  specificity,  reactions  between  antigens  and  antibodies  are  suitable  for  identifying  one  by  using  the  other.  This  is  the  basis  of  serologic  reactions.  However,  cross-reactions  between  related  antigens  can  occur,  and  these  can  limit  the  usefulness  of  the  test.
