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.
Antigen binding site or epitope is a part of an antigen that is recognized by the antibody. Paratope is a part of an antibody that binds on epitope.
