The Wessermann test is classified as a nontreponemal test. Nontreponemal tests are used to detect antibodies that are produced in response to a syphilis infection. These tests are based on the detection of antibodies against cardiolipin, a substance that is released by damaged host cells during the infection. The Wessermann test specifically detects the presence of reagin antibodies, which are nonspecific antibodies that are produced during syphilis infection. This test is commonly used as a screening tool for syphilis.
