Antibody is a type of protein produced by the immune system, its function is to fight antigens (bacteri, virus)
To enhance the function of phagocytosis. The antibody binds to the antigen (on the organism). The antibody also binds to the phagocyte thus facilitating the coming together of the antibody and phagocyte and phagocytosis can then proceed.
Treponemal antibody tests are used to rule out false-positive results on reagin tests.

IgE is the antibody that causes acute allergic reactions; it is measured to detect allergic conditions. IgD, which constitutes the smallest portion of the immunoglobulins, is rarely evaluated or detected, and its function is not well understood.
IgG functions as an antibody that helps in phagocytosis of microbes and activates NK cells to kill the pathogen.
In an ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay), the secondary antibody serves to bind specifically to the primary antibody that is attached to the target antigen. This secondary antibody is typically conjugated to an enzyme or a detectable label, allowing for the amplification of the signal. When a substrate is added, the enzyme reacts to produce a measurable signal, such as color change, which indicates the presence and quantity of the target antigen. Ultimately, the secondary antibody enhances the sensitivity and specificity of the assay.
