What else can I help you with?
Can a new unrelated peptide antigen can be used along with live vaccine to raise antibody against both?

Is T cell activation antigen specific?
Yes. The first signal that a T cell receives from an antigen presenting cell (dendritic cell) is MHC presenting an antigen (foreign peptide). This gives the T cell specificity to this antigen.
Multiple antibody binding to single antigen?
Polyclonal antibody
What compound contains a peptide bond?
Proteins and peptides are the compounds that contain peptide bonds. A peptide bond forms when two amino acids join together, so any molecule made of amino acids linked in a chain such as peptides or proteins will contain peptide bonds. If you're trying to better understand peptide-related concepts, tools like a peptide calculator such as PeptixCalc can make things easier.
What is the difference between amine and peptide hormones?
Amine hormones are derived from amino acids, such as epinephrine and dopamine, and are typically water-soluble. Peptide hormones are made up of short amino acid chains and are also water-soluble. Peptide hormones include insulin and growth hormone.
What is the first signal required for activation of a T cell?
The first signal required to activate a T cell is MHC(Major Histocompatibility Complex) presenting an antigen(foreign peptide) to the T cell receptor.
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 is The bond that links two amino acids called?
This is called a peptide bond, or peptide linkage.
What is the joining of amino acids called?
peptide
What are the bonds that are the bonds that hold two amino acids together called?
peptide A.S.Apex :)
What is the molecule that can be recognized by the immune system?
Antigens.
Why do they call proteins polypeptides?
A 'peptide' is a chain of amino acids, and a protein is made from multiple chains, ergo 'polypeptide', 'poly-' meaning 'many'.
