Nonspecificity of the humoral immune response
The immune system is based on antibody-producing cells that have the ability to produce antibodies to a wide variety of antigens. This ability is present even before the individual is exposed to those specific antigens. Therefore, based on this inherent ability, nonspecific stimulation of B cells can result in an increased antibody response to specific antigens.

Summary of serological diagnostic methods - Part 1
There are many comparisons of serological techniques listed in the article, it is probably best to acknowledge the generalities that can be made, but the addition of any technique depends very much on the specific pathogen and the circumstances of the disease. In general, there is a trend towards standardisation, high-volume automation and point-of-care testing.

Serological diagnosis of infectious diseases
Serological diagnosis has a functional basis of the humoral immune response to infection. For past and present considerations, there is a preference for measuring the cell-mediated immune response to infection.
