What is the major advantage of antiserum?
The major advantage of antiserum is its ability to provide immediate immunity or treatment by containing pre-formed antibodies specific to a particular antigen. This allows for rapid immune response against pathogens or toxins.
How are antibodies form?
Antibodies are formed as the defence against antigen or pathogen which is consider as a foreign particle by body against whcih body immune system acts. Antibodies are formed my activated B cells called plasma cell and are made of glycoproteins
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.
What is the third step in a direct ELISA test?
antibodies against 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 a protein thatacts against a specific antigen?
An antibody is a protein that acts against a specific antigen by binding to it and marking it for destruction by the immune system. Antibodies are produced by B cells in response to the presence of foreign substances in the body.
What is a substance usually a protein that causes the formation of an antibody and reacts specifically with that antibody?
An antigen is any substance that causes your immune system to produce antibodies against it. An antigen may be a foreign substance from the environment. If you get a vaccine for rubella, the antibody formed will not act against mumps (another virus).
Antibodies are primarily effective against rather than?
effective against soluble antigens than the insoluble antigen
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'
What is positive immunity?
If a person's immune system is producing antibodies against a specific antigen, then that person has a positive or active immunity toward that antigen. If a person has merely been injected with antibodies but does not produce them, that is a passive immunity.
Hemagglutination-inhibition test description?
It is the measures of the ability of soluble antigen to inhibit the agglutination of antigen-coated red blood cells by antibodies. In this test, a fixed amount of antibodies to the antigen in question is mixed with a fixed amount of red blood cells coated with the antigen (research on passive hemagglutination). Also included in the mixture are different amounts of the sample to be analyzed for the presence of the antigen. If the sample contains the antigen, the soluble antigen will compete with the antigen coated on the red blood cells for binding to the antibodies, thereby inhibiting the agglutination of the red blood cells.
When an antigen enters antibodies are produced but when a spermforeign particleenters a female why antibodies are not produced?
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.
