What is the difference between an antigen and pathogen?
An antigen is a substance that can trigger an immune response in the body, such as proteins on the surface of bacteria or viruses. A pathogen, on the other hand, is a type of antigen that can cause disease in the host organism by invading and damaging tissues. Not all antigens are pathogens, but all pathogens are antigens.
Small piece of a pathogen that generates an immune response?
Antigen. An antigen is a small piece of a pathogen, such as a virus or bacteria, that triggers the immune system to produce antibodies to fight off the infection. This immune response helps protect the body from further exposure to the pathogen in the future.
What is the function of an antigen in an antigen-antibody response?
To help immune cells identify and destroy a pathogen
How does the body recognize when a foreign pathogen has entered?
Antigen
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.
What chemical can destroys a pathogen by locking onto it antigen?
An Antibody.
What chemical destroys a pathogen by locking onto its antigen?
An Antibody.
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 foreign material called that stimulates the production of an antibody?
do you mean antigens? An antigen is any (foreign) substance that stimulates an immune reaction.
Substance that the body regards as foreign?
If it can be harmful, it can be referred to as pathogen.
What is a substance that contains the antigen of a pathogen?
A substance that contains the antigen of a pathogen is known as a vaccine. Vaccines are designed to stimulate the immune system by introducing a harmless form or component of the pathogen, such as proteins or inactivated viruses. This exposure helps the body recognize and mount an immune response against the pathogen if encountered in the future, providing immunity.
What is the difference between antigens and pathogen's?
An antigen is a body's system for creating antibodies to fight infection. A pathogen is an infectious agent (or germ).
