Serological testing is based on the fact that antibodies react specifically with an anigen all bacteria have the same antigens or the human body makes antibodies against bacteria?
AnswerThe human body makes specific antibodies to specific antigens (ex. proteins on a bacterial membrane) that it encounters. Bacteria do not all have the same antigens.* antibodies react specifically with an antigen

Which of the following initiates an attack against a specific antigen or pathogen?
Plasma Cell initiate attacks against specific antigens. Plasma cells are B cells bearing specific antibodies for binding to a specific antigen.
What are the purpose of agglutination test?
Agglutination serves to provide an idea of the presence of certain antibodies within the body. If specific antibodies against the antigen are present, the antibodies will combine with the antigens, coat the cells and cause the cells to join together, or agglutinate. It can be used to identify unknown antigens in diagnosing infections and to determine matching tissue types and blood groupings between two individuals.
