The clumping of cells that occurs as a result of an antigen-antibody reaction is called?
When an antigen and antibody react it causes cells to clump together. The term used to describe the clumping of cells is called agglutination.
An antigen stimulates B cells to produce a specific what?
An antigen stimulates B cells to produce a specific antibody. This antibody is capable of recognizing and binding to the antigen that stimulated its production, marking it for destruction by other components of the immune system.
How an ELISA works?
ELISA means enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. Let us keep it simple and describe a direct ELISA. First; a well plate is coated on the bottom of the well with an antigen epitope of interest. Then an antibody is prepared with an enzyme linked to it. Then the antibody is put into the well with a amount of neutral solution. The well is washed. Then the substrate of the antibody is put into the solution. If the antibody attached to the epitope was not washed away the enzyme will react with its substrate and this reaction will color the solution.
What is antibody valence?
It is the number of antigens one antibody molecule can bind to. For example, a trivalent antibody can simultaneously bind to three copies of the antigen it recognizes. This is not related to atomic valence.
In indirect elisa the enzyme liked antibody will attach to?
In an indirect ELISA, the enzyme-linked antibody attaches to the target antigen that has been immobilized on the microplate. This allows for the detection of the antigen through the enzyme's activity, which produces a signal that indicates the presence of the target antigen in the sample.
What is the process by which an antibody binds to an antigen?
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.
Is glycoprotein an antigen or antibody?
Antibody
What region of an antibody does the antigen bind to?
epitopes on the antigen while the paratopes on the antibody
The clumping of cells that occurs as a result of an antigen-antibody reaction is called?
When an antigen and antibody react it causes cells to clump together. The term used to describe the clumping of cells is called agglutination.
Is antigen a form of virus?
No. An antigen is something that an antibody will inactive. It is an antibody inducing agent.
What has the author Sona Vasudevan written?
Sona Vasudevan has written: 'Probing the structural basis of antigen-antibody interactions'
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 opposite word of antibody?
Antigen is the opposite of antibody.
What blood has antigen but without antibody?
Surface antigen
An antibody reacts to what antigen?
An antibody reacts to the specific antigen it is made to attach to. It is like the lock and key model; it locks onto the antigen.
Does an antibody attached to an antigen make it harmless?
When an antibody attaches onto an antigen it destroys the antigen to help your body fight off a disease.
What happens when an antigen and its matching antibody meet up in your body?
When an antigen and its matching antibody meet in the body, the antibody binds to the antigen, marking it for destruction by the immune system. This process helps to neutralize the antigen and prevent further harm to the body.
