Secondary binding tests measure antigen–antibody interaction in vitro. These tests measure the secondary effect, or consequence, of the antigen–antibody interaction. Agglutination, precipitation, neutralization (of bacteria, viruses, toxins, etc.), and complement activation are all examples of secondary binding tests (Tizard 2013). They are not as sensitive as primary binding tests, but they are much easier and faster to perform. In general, these tests are not used often in veterinary dermatology.
