when a antigen enters the body then the body would send antibodies to get rid of them. The antibody doesn't get rid of the antigen they tag it by binding to it so that a cell..a white blood cell can come and destroy by phagi.
A antigen
Antigens.
Abwehrstoff or Antigen
the antigen must bind to the receptor
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.
An antigen is a protein made in response to a specific antigen.
Surface antigen
Another term for univalent antigen
No.
Has no antigen in many textbooks it will state "no A-antigen and no B-antigen"(which imply the possibility of some other antigen) and some will even say, "no antigen" (which is true; antigens are things that attach to antigen binding sites, thus, if it does not fit any antigen binding sites, it is technically not a antigen but merely a "enzyme/protein") but this is just to reduce unnecessary and irrelevant information; they are only concerned about A-antibody, B-antibody, A-antigen, and B-antigen. Nonetheless, know that there are in fact antigens on o blood cells, they are just inactive. My guess is, N acetyl glactosamine on A antigen and Galactose on B antigens are Epitopes (: a small specific regions on antigens that are bound by the antigen receptors on lymphocytes and by secreted antibodies.) Antigens without epitopes will not be detected by antigen binding sites.
A soluble antigen is a viral antigen that remains after the virus has been removed. A particulate antigen is produced by particles such as dust and germs.
