Words " Antigenic Determinant " itself yells that it is on antigen
No, they are pure antibody preparations specific for a single antigenic determinant.
Antigens with only one antigenic site are called Major histocompatibility complex (MHC)

For example in regards to influenza viruses, an antigenic site is the area on the protein spike protruding from their lipid bilayer that carries the receptor binding sites. This is supposed to trigger an immune response when your body detects these sites by binding antibodies to them.
that's the part where the antibody attacks.
antigenic shift
What is a Motivants and Determinants
RNA genome of influenza virus is segmented in to 7 pieces. It has the unique property of undergoing two types of genetic variation ie antigenic drift and antigenic shift. In antigenic drift the antigenic variations are minor where genetic recombination take place between strains of two similar species whereas in antigenic shift the recombination take place between strains of dissimilar species leading to major antigenic variations and hence seasonal epidemics.
antigenic when bound to proteins
There are many determinants of personality. These determinants are largely dependent on the environment that a child grows up in.
An antigenic variation is the mechanism by which an infectious organism changes its surface proteins in favour of circumventing a host immune response.
