Reply to comment by CrateDane in Do human antibodies bind to animal cells? I see that in ANA tests they use rat cells. are they transgenic mice? or just regular mice. by menooby

Also, antibodies bind "somewhere" on their target. That target may be a specific part of one protein found in humans only, but they could be aspecific or bind a protein part wich's the same in another animal. Bioinformatics can help you for your specific antibody but wet lab testing's the way to go
