What happens when antibody binds an antigen?
It causes pathogens to stick together.
What Is the difference between antigen binding site and paratope?
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.
Which antibody function binds antibodies to soluble antigen molecules?
precipitation
What is a synonym for antigenic determinant?
It is the place where antibody binds after recognizing the antigen
What is Antigen A?
An antigen is actually foreign or toxic to the human body. It stimulates an adaptive immune response and binds to a antibody.
An antibody oponizes invading organisms is in order to enhance the function of?
To enhance the function of phagocytosis. The antibody binds to the antigen (on the organism). The antibody also binds to the phagocyte thus facilitating the coming together of the antibody and phagocyte and phagocytosis can then proceed.
What is protective antigen?
The protective antigen is the antigen an antibody binds to killing the pathogen. It more or less is the "kill spot" for the pathogen. Also known as protective epitope.
What bind with specific antigens in the antigen-antibody response?
The Fab portion of the antibody is what determines the idiotype. The Fab portion consists of both a heavy and light chain and is connected to the Fc region (isotype). Every B cell will express a different Fab structure and in a single B cell it will produce only the same Fab.
Is glycoprotein an antigen or antibody?
Antibody
What region of an antibody does the antigen bind to?
epitopes on the antigen while the paratopes on the antibody
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.
Which portion of the antibody--V or C is its antigen--binding site?
C stands for constant or conserved, V stands for variable. The variable part is what latches on to the antigen.
