An antigen is a foreign particle that enters the body. This could be a disease causing agent such as part of a bacterium or virus or could be a particle such as pollen or dust.
An antibody is a protein made by the body's immune system. Antibodies react with specific antigens to enable the antigens to be removed from the body.
An antigen is a substance recognized as foreign by the body and that triggers the body's white blood cells to produce antibodies. An antibody is a substance secreted by white blood cells to neutralize invaders.
Antibodies bind to antigens which are substances, like bacteria, that are recognized by the immune system.
Antibody
epitopes on the antigen while the paratopes on the antibody
No. An antigen is something that an antibody will inactive. It is an antibody inducing agent.
Basically to explain this, an antigen is any type of pathogen that causes disease, while an antibody is something that combats against the antigen.
Antigen is the opposite of antibody.
Surface antigen
An antibody reacts to the specific antigen it is made to attach to. It is like the lock and key model; it locks onto the antigen.
When an antibody attaches onto an antigen it destroys the antigen to help your body fight off a disease.
Polyclonal antibody
An antigen is a substance that can invoke an immune response. While an antibody is the immune system's response to an antigen. Antibodies, act by directly neutralizing the antigen and/or bind to the antigen and signaling marcophages to phagocytose the antigen.
Antigen binding site or epitope is a part of an antigen that is recognized by the antibody. Paratope is a part of an antibody that binds on epitope.
