What is a xenoantigen?
A xenoantigen is an antigen which is found in more than one species.
Which of the following is NOT true about antibodies a. an antibody has more than one antigen binding site b. a pathogen can have different epitopes c. a pathogen makes more than one antigen?
C is false.A pathogen can have multiple epitopes and antigens. A single antigen is simply one molecule, and the cell surface is littered with millions of antigens.
How do antibodies destroy pathogens?
binding to antigens on the pathogens.The antibodies not only bind to antigens...but once bound with the antigens on the viruses they encounter. The viruses clump together and are destroyed by phagocytes.Thanks to...my BRILLIANT mind!! :PYOU ARE THE BEST!
Can an antibody produced to fight against one antigen fight against a different antigen?
true
What is antigen binding?
Antigen binding is a region on an antibody that binds to antigens. Antigen binding is composed of one constant and one variable domain of each of the heavy and the light chain, and these domains shape the antigen binding site at the amino terminal end of the monomer.
Don't Rh factor is an Antigen that can cause problems in some women who bear more than one offspring true or false?
yes. you must be doing your human anatomy in Aplus too lol
Define and distinguish antibody affinity and avidity?
An antibody (IgM for example is a pentamere), can consist out of more than one different immonoglobulines. One of the variabel regions of these immunoglobulines can bind to an epitope of an antigene, this is called affinity. When different variabel regions of one antibody bind to different epitopes on an antigene, the combined effect is called avidity. The effect is not equal to the sum of the affinity's.
What should be done if some one suffer from Australia antigen reactive?
Can patient of Australia Antigen have the physical relationship with spouse.
What is correct When more than one is or When more than one are?
'when more than one are' is the correct phrase.
What is more than one cell?

How much is two hundred and fifty shekels?
One shekel more than 249, one fewer than 251. One shekel more than 249, one fewer than 251. One shekel more than 249, one fewer than 251. One shekel more than 249, one fewer than 251.
Can an antibody bind to two antigens?
No, because each antigen has a specific structure that makes its shape complementary to just one other antigen (just like with enzymes, which are specfic to one substrate). Consequently, your body will contain upwards of 10,000,000 different lymphocytes, each one primed to target one antigen.
