Antigens refers to those particles that trigger the body to create an antibody. Antibodies on the other hand are part of the defence immune system of the body.

The tests used in detectection of antibodies and antigens help to us to get out some certain infections as well as other medical conditions.

Different antibodies that are present in the body can be detected and also be measured in body samples such as; blood samples,saliva sample.The results from this samples after the antibody tests can be use to diagnose for particular illnesses.
