What is the foreign material called that stimulates the production of an antibody?
do you mean antigens? An antigen is any (foreign) substance that stimulates an immune reaction.
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.
What is the difference between antigens and pathogen's?
