What is the protein made in a response to a specific antigen called?
An antigen is a protein made in response to a specific antigen.
What is the medical term meaning a specific protein evoked by an antigen?
An antibody is a specific protein evoked by an antigen.
Can any antibody work with any antigen?
No, not all antibodies can work with any antigen. Antibodies are highly specific in recognizing and binding to a particular antigen based on their unique binding sites. The binding of an antibody to an antigen is based on complementary shapes and charges, so a specific antibody will only bind to a specific antigen that matches its binding site.
What is the function of an antigen in an antigen-antibody response?
To help immune cells identify and destroy a pathogen
What is the function of rh antigen?
ammonia transport
What are substances made in response to a specific antigen?
Giant turtles are what are made in response to a specific antigen. Hope I Helped!
What is the specific protein made in response to a particular antigen?
The specific protein made in response to a particular antigen is called an antibody.
Is T cell activation antigen specific?
Yes. The first signal that a T cell receives from an antigen presenting cell (dendritic cell) is MHC presenting an antigen (foreign peptide). This gives the T cell specificity to this antigen.
A screening test to detect prostate cancer that measures protein levels is called?
The prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test is a blood screen for prostate cancer.
An antibody reacts to what 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.
What is the function of an antibody in an antigen-antibody response?
An antibody is what your body produces to fight of disease and infection. When a person has an autoimmune disease, the body's antibodies are attacking healthy and normal cells.
When IL-2 is secreted by antigen-specific T cells activated due to presentation of antigen by APCs What happens to naive antigen-nonspecific T cells in the vicinity?
Naive antigen-nonspecific T cells do not become activated since they lack the T cell receptor specificity for the particular antigen being presented. They do not respond to IL-2 secreted by the activated antigen-specific T cells and remain in a resting state until they encounter an antigen to which they are specific.
