"C antigen is an antigen in the Rhesus blood grouping system. This blood group system is associated with over 40 antigens which may or may not be present in a someone's blood, determining her or his place in this system. The most famous Rhesus antigen is the D antigen, sometimes called the Rhesus factor, which can cause complications in pregnancy. Blood analysis for C antigen can be performed in a lab which has the serotyping tools necessary to identify the presence of this antigen in the blood. As with some other antigens associated with blood types, the C antigen can create a blood incompatibility which may cause problems during pregnancy or with blood transfusions. If someone does not have this antigen and she or he is exposed to the blood of someone who does, C antibodieswill develop. With the next exposure, a coagulation reaction will occur in the blood. For this reason, it is important to avoid transfusing C positive blood into people who do not have the antigen.Whereas most blood types are determined by red cell antigens that differ by one or two amino acids, the Rh blood group contains the D antigen which differs from th"e C/c and E/e antigens by 35 amino acids. This large difference in amino acids is the reason why the Rh antigens are potent at stimulating an immune response
What else can I help you with?
Which of the following is not an antigen that may be found on the surface of an erythrocyte a A antigen b B antigen c O antigen d Rh antigen?
The O antigen is not an antigen that may be found on the surface of an erythrocyte. A and B antigens are present in the ABO blood group system, while the Rh antigen is part of the Rh blood group system. O blood type individuals lack A and B antigens on their red blood cells.
Which of the following is NOT true about antibodies a. an antibody has more than one antigen binding site b. a pathogen can have different epitopes c. a pathogen makes more than one antigen?
c. a pathogen makes more than one antigen. Pathogens typically have multiple epitopes that can be recognized by antibodies, but they do not make more than one antigen. Each pathogen produces specific antigens that can trigger an immune response.
Is C a blood type?
Yes, "C" is a blood group antigen but not a specific blood type. Blood types refer to the ABO system (A, B, AB, O) and the Rh system (positive or negative). The "C" antigen is part of the Rh system.
What antibodies are tested for by Selectogen I and II?
Selectogen I tests for IgG antibodies to hepatitis A virus, hepatitis B virus core antigen, and hepatitis B surface antigen. Selectogen II tests for IgG antibodies to hepatitis C virus, hepatitis B core antigen, and hepatitis B surface antigen.
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 antigens are the most important in the Rhesus blood group system?
antigen D is the most important
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.
Which of the following is not an antigen that may be found on the surface of an erythrocyte a A antigen b B antigen c O antigen d Rh antigen?
The O antigen is not an antigen that may be found on the surface of an erythrocyte. A and B antigens are present in the ABO blood group system, while the Rh antigen is part of the Rh blood group system. O blood type individuals lack A and B antigens on their red blood cells.
What does genotype cDEcde indicate?
The genotype cDEcde indicates that the individual carries one copy of the C antigen, one copy of the c antigen, as well as one copy of the E antigen and one copy of the e antigen. This genotype is related to the Rh blood group system.

What has the author M C Crowson written?
M. C. Crowson has written: 'Heterogeneity of antigen expression of colorectal tumours and their metastases'
What is the molecule that can be recognized by the immune system?
Antigens.
What is antigen in German?
Abwehrstoff or Antigen
In order for a lymphocyte to respond to an antigen the antigen must?
the antigen must bind to the receptor
What is a C blood test?
You'll have to try to be more specific and provide some context. It could be a test for C-antigen on red blood cells, anti-C antibody, hepatitis C, protein C, C-reactive protein, or a number of other things.
