For example in regards to influenza viruses, an antigenic site is the area on the protein spike protruding from their lipid bilayer that carries the receptor binding sites. This is supposed to trigger an immune response when your body detects these sites by binding antibodies to them.
Words " Antigenic Determinant " itself yells that it is on antigen
Antigens with only one antigenic site are called Major histocompatibility complex (MHC)
that's the part where the antibody attacks.
The suffix of antigenic is -ic.
antigenic when bound to proteins
An antigenic variation is the mechanism by which an infectious organism changes its surface proteins in favour of circumventing a host immune response.
Swine flu H1N1 is considered an antigenic shift, as it resulted from a reassortment of genetic material from different influenza virus strains in animals. This led to the emergence of a new subtype that can infect humans.
the technical is a antigenic, frogulation.
influenza A viruses can trade genetic materials with the viruses of other species. Two different strains trade or merge material, a process known as an antigenic shift.
Yes, monoclonal antibodies can be specific for multiple antigenic determinants if those determinants share similar structural features that allow the antibody to bind to them. This property is known as cross-reactivity. However, some monoclonal antibodies are designed to target a single specific antigenic determinant to ensure high specificity in diagnostic or therapeutic applications.
a segmented genome
Small molecules that bind with self-proteins to produce antigenic substances are called happens. The unique area that a lymphocyte recognizes and binds to an antigenic determinant.
