Solution
Antigens (proteins, glycoproteins, etc.) or antibodies made against the pathogen can be used to identify the existence of a pathogen infection. It is a sensitive immunoassay that employs an enzyme associated with an antigen or antibody as a marker for the detection of a particular protein, particularly an antigen or antibody.
