Is an antibodie an antigen?
An antibody is a glycoprotein that is produced by plasma cells. It consists of heavy chains and light chains. An antigen is a molecule that interacts with an antibody (or T-Cell). When the antigen interaction induces an immune response it is known as an immunogen.
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 region of an antibody does the antigen bind to?
epitopes on the antigen while the paratopes on the antibody
Is antigen a form of virus?

What blood has antigen but without antibody?

An antibody reacts to what antigen?
An antibody reacts to the specific antigen it is made to attach to. It is like the lock and key model; it locks onto the antigen.
What happens when an antigen and its matching antibody meet up in your body?
When an antigen and its matching antibody meet in the body, the antibody binds to the antigen, marking it for destruction by the immune system. This process helps to neutralize the antigen and prevent further harm to the body.
Does an antibody attached to an antigen make it harmless?
When an antibody attaches onto an antigen it destroys the antigen to help your body fight off a disease.
Multiple antibody binding to single antigen?
Polyclonal antibody
What is antigene and antibody?
An antigen is a substance that can invoke an immune response. While an antibody is the immune system's response to an antigen. Antibodies, act by directly neutralizing the antigen and/or bind to the antigen and signaling marcophages to phagocytose the antigen.
