yours logic is right but here the sperms are not at all considered as antigens see friend whats the meaning for antigen? a foreign paticle which able to generate antibodies is nothing but antigen. here sperm doesn,t involves in antigen-antibody complex because of the lack of antibodys.

What is h and o antigens?
H antigens correspond to the antigenic type of the bacterial flagellaO antigens correspond to the antigenic type of the Lipopolysaccharide layer on the outer membrane of gram negative bacteriabacteria all have different antigenic types on their surface which react to different types of antibodies and are classified using this method. For example the pathogenic E. coli O157:H7 has the designation 157 for its O antigen meaning it will not react with antibodies with a different serotype.
What are anti bodies and antigen?
The antigen is the foreign "invader" in the body. The antibody is a tiny "Y" shaped protein that is chemically attracted to a specific antigen; binding to it and thereby marking it for destruction by a white blood cell.
Does an adjuvant make a hapten a complete antigen?
fagan asked this at ysu? haha fail.
What does it mean if someone is A positive?
It means that their blood type is A+ (A Positive). Human blood is divided into several different groups based on unique antigen substances, found on red blood cells.
What is the difference between conjugated and unconjugated vaccines?
Conjugate - certain bacteria have polysaccharide outer coats that are poorly immunogenic. By linking these outer coats to proteins (e.g. toxins), the immune system can be led to recognize the polysaccharide as if it were a protein antigen. This approach is used in the Haemophilus influenzae type B vaccine. [Wikipedia]
Antibodies are produced in the body and attach themselves to antigen?
Yes that is true, and they only attach to a non-self antigen, that is, an antigen not produced in the body. and they only attach to certain antigens
A protein produced by the body to combat foreign particles?
Antibody
Which is NOT a cardinal sign of inflammation?
During the first exposure to an antigen antibodies are produced
What is neutralizing antigen?
Its the antigen in a particular foreign body or pathogen that the body recognizes as "allo" or unfamiliar.. Maybe even harmful. So antibodies are produced against these antigens. And since they are 'neutralizing antibodies' it follows that the antigens they bind to are 'neutralizing antigens'
An antigen is a substance that produces?
antibodies
How are antibodies produced?
lymphocytes make antibodies by first getting the antigen marker from a pathogen. Then, using a 'toolkit' of various protein fragments, they use the marker as a 'blueprint' to make the antibody.
What cells are responsible for synthesis of antibodies?
There are various cells and organs that plays a vital role in the production of antibodies. Primarily the white blood cells also called as lymphocytes converts to immunoblasts and then convert to plasma cells, from which the antibodies are thus produced. T-cells and B-cells are antigen specific and produce the antibodies based on the structure and pathogenticity of an antigen. The immune response varies from one antigen to the other.
Antibody binding result in destruction of the antigen?
Antibodies bind the antigen, which then targets the antigen for elimination by innate mechanisms
What is a substance made in response to an antigen?
Antibodies
Can any antibody work with any antigen?
Antibodies must be created for a specific antigen.
How do cells involved in the humoral response respond to antigen presentation on the surface of a B cell?
Helper T cells recognize the receptor-antigen complex and cause plasma and memory cells to be produced to then produce antibodies.
What are antigens and antibodies?
antigen-a toxin or other foreign substance that induces an immune response in the body, especially the production of antibodies.Antibodies-a blood protein produced in response to and counteracting a specific antigen. Antibodies combine chemically with substances that the body recognizes as alien, such as bacteria, viruses, and foreign substances in the blood.
