What else can I help you with?
What is the specific protein made in response to a particular antigen?
The specific protein made in response to a particular antigen is called an antibody.
The y- shaped protein that is produced by plasma cells upon exposure to a specific antigen and can bind to that antigen is called a?
antibody
What is the blood cell protein that elicits an immune reaction?
The protein that elicits an immune reaction in blood cells is called an antigen. Antigens are typically foreign substances that trigger an immune response when they are detected by the immune system.
A foreign molecule that causes a specific immune response is?
Depending on the exact response, the substance is generally called a pathogen, yet more specifically depending on the nature of the response and origin of the substance, could be an antigen, allergen, carcinogen, etc.
What is a substance that causes an immune response called?
Antigen
A screening test to detect prostate cancer that measures protein levels is called?
The prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test is a blood screen for prostate cancer.
Why is hla called an antigen?
HLA (Human Leukocyte Antigen) is called an antigen because it is a protein on the surface of cells that plays a crucial role in the immune system. When the immune system recognizes foreign antigens, including those of HLA, it triggers an immune response to protect the body from pathogens.
Any foreign substance that enters the body and induces an immune response is called?
Antigen
What is mounting an excessive immune response to a harmless antigen called?
Allergy
What are protein substances formed in the blood to destroy foreign substances?
Antigens are protein substances formed in the blood to destroy foreign substances. Antigens can also be administered artificially in some cases.
The immune cell that allows for subsequent recognition of an antigen resulting in a secondary response is called an?
Memory cell. Memory cells are a type of immune cell that remember specific antigens upon initial exposure, allowing for a faster and more effective response upon subsequent exposure to the same antigen.
What is the difference between antigen and immunogen?
Any foreign particle interact with Antibody or T cell is antigen. Interaction is non-covalent and highly specific. Antigen that evoke immune response is called Immunogen. An immunogen usually has a fairly high molecular weight (usually greater than 10,000), thus, a variety of macromolecules such as proteins,lipoproteins, polysaccharides, some nucleic acids, and certain of the teichoic acids, can act as immunogens.
