Capture and detection antibodies must recognise two non-overlapping apitopes in order to work. Once the detection antibody is bound, the capture antibody cannot obscure the epitope used by the detection antibody in any way, or the sandwich ELISA will not work. Hope that helps, I am also trying to answer a similar question and this is what i have found out so far, but not 100% sure that its right. Eve

How do antibodies recognize antigens and initiate an immune response?

Antibodies recognize antigens by binding to specific molecules on their surface. This binding triggers a series of events that activate the immune response, including the production of more antibodies and the recruitment of immune cells to destroy the antigen.


Do B cells have antibodies on their surface?

Yes, B cells have antibodies on their surface that help them recognize and bind to specific antigens.

Which one of the following is not true of the constant c regions of antibodies?

The constant regions of antibodies (Fc regions) primarily determine the antibody's class and are involved in mediating immune responses, such as binding to Fc receptors on immune cells. They do not vary significantly between different antibodies of the same class, unlike the variable regions that recognize specific antigens. Therefore, a statement claiming that the constant regions vary greatly among different antibodies would not be true.


Can your body make antibodies for pathogens that your body has never been in contact with why or why not?

Our bodies do have the ability to make antibodies to something we never have had contact with. These are called natural antibodies. Natural antibodies are produced by B lymphocytes in the absence of external pathogen stimulation. With their ability to recognize between self and non-self, they comprise an important first-line defense. Any problem with this formation of natural antibodies, the body would begin to attack itself. This is seen in autoimmune disorders.


How do macrophages recognize infectious agents such as bacteria?

When antibodies bind to the epitopes of an antigen(bacteria) via antigen receptors, the antibodies present the bacteria to a macrophages in a form that they recognize the foreign substance and engulf them. This antibody-antigen "team work" is also known as opsonization


What white blood cells produce antibodies and function in the immune response?

There are 5 different types of white blood cells and all produce antibodies as a function of immune response. The five types are neutrophils, esoinophils, basophils, lymphocytes, and monocytes. They all respond to different threats to our body's health.


What are antibodies made by?

Antibodies are made by a type of white blood cell called B cells. When the body detects the presence of a foreign substance (antigen), B cells are activated to produce antibodies specific to that antigen. These antibodies work to help the immune system recognize and eliminate the invader.
