What is the reaction between antibody and particulate antigens called?
agglutination reaction
What is the difference between alloimmunization and isoimmunization?
the autoimmune reaction is the reaction between the antibody and antigene when both come from the same body but the isoimmune reaction is between the antigene and antibody produced for the same antigene ( the same according to the type but not the immunity )
Why is the secondary antibody used in an ELISA test conjugated with an enzyme?
The secondary antibody in an ELISA test is conjugated with an enzyme to amplify the signal produced when the antibody binds to the target antigen. This enzyme-substrate reaction generates a detectable signal that indicates the presence of the antigen, which allows for more sensitive and accurate detection in the ELISA assay.
What is the basic principle of the antigen-antibody reaction?
-the principle of antigen-antibody reaction is a process of the immune system in which immunoglobulin-coated B cells recognize a specific antigen and stimulate antibody production. T cells also play an essential role in the reaction. An antigen-antibody reaction begins with the binding of antigens to antibodies to form antigen-antibody complexes. These complexes may render toxic antigens harmless (neutralization), agglutinize antigens on the surface of microorganisms, or activate the complement system by exposing the complement binding sites on antibodies. Certain complement protein molecules immediately bind to these sites and trigger the activity of the other complement protein molecules, which cause antigen-bearing cells to lyse. Antigen-antibody reactions may start immediately with antigen contact or as much as 48 hours later. They normally produce immunity but may also be responsible for allergy, autoimmunity, and fetomaternal hematologic incompatibility. In the immediate allergic response, the antigen-antibody reaction activates certain enzymes and causes an imbalance between those enzymes and their inhibitors
Are chickenpox antibody and shingles antibody the same?
Chickenpox and shingles result from the same virus, and generate the same antibodies. There is no difference between chickenpox antibody and shingles antibody, and there is only one test (varicella virus antibody) for both.
What is the different between polyclonal antibody and antiserum?
polyclonal antobody is the antibody produced for many or non specific antigens but antiserum is the antibody for a specific antigen
What is the relationship between antigen and antibody?
Basically to explain this, an antigen is any type of pathogen that causes disease, while an antibody is something that combats against the antigen.
What is the difference between an atom a molecule and lattice?
An atom is the smallest particle of an element, anything further has "lost its identity" of that element. Atoms make up molecules. A molecule is a bond between two non-metals. Atoms also make up lattices. Lattices are a part of bonding between metals.
Why blood group O can still transfer their blood to A despite the reaction between antibody A of blood O and antigen A of blood A?
Common blood can be transfered to rare blood but rare blood can not be transfered to common blood.
What are the differences between sandwich ELISA and indirect ELISA?
Sandwich ELISA directly detects the antigen using two antibodies, while indirect ELISA detects the antigen using a primary antibody and a secondary antibody that binds to the primary antibody.
What is the different between auto antibody antibody?
Auto Antibodies are involved in auto0immune diseases whereas anti-bodies are involved in immunity against non-self, pathogens.
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.
