What else can I help you with?
Can any antibody work with any antigen?
No, not all antibodies can work with any antigen. Antibodies are highly specific in recognizing and binding to a particular antigen based on their unique binding sites. The binding of an antibody to an antigen is based on complementary shapes and charges, so a specific antibody will only bind to a specific antigen that matches its binding site.
What is the process by which an antibody binds to an antigen?
The process by which an antibody binds to an antigen is called antigen-antibody binding. This occurs when the antibody recognizes and attaches to a specific part of the antigen, forming a complex that helps the immune system identify and neutralize the antigen.
What is the effect of not including the antigen or the primary antibody in the ELISA reaction?
Not including the antigen will prevent the primary antibody from binding to it which will disrupt the results of the ELISA. Not including the primary antibody will prevent the secondary antibody from binding it, which will again negatively affect the results of the ELISA. All components are necessary to get an accurate ELISA.
Does o blood type have a antigens?
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.
How can a diverse array of antibodies be generated against a single antigen?
A diverse array of antibodies can be generated against a single antigen through a process called somatic hypermutation. This process allows B cells to produce a wide range of antibodies with different binding affinities to the antigen, increasing the chances of finding an effective antibody to neutralize the antigen.
Can any antibody work with any antigen?
No, not all antibodies can work with any antigen. Antibodies are highly specific in recognizing and binding to a particular antigen based on their unique binding sites. The binding of an antibody to an antigen is based on complementary shapes and charges, so a specific antibody will only bind to a specific antigen that matches its binding site.
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.
Antibody binding result in destruction of the antigen?
Antibodies bind the antigen, which then targets the antigen for elimination by innate mechanisms
The binding of an antigen to an antibody can result in?
neutralization of the antigen, agglutination or precipitation, and complement activation.
What is the ability to respond to a particular antigen by binding to it called?
Imunocompetent
Multiple antibody binding to single antigen?
Polyclonal antibody
Type blood has B antibodies?
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.

What is a lymphocyte that is capable of responding to a specific antigen by binding called?
Complemented

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.
What is Antigen binding site of immunoglobulin?
Question is little bit confusing. Anyway I have an answer and hope it make sense to this question. Antibodies binds to a part of an antigen which is known as Epitope.
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.
