What is a monovalent antigen?
A monovalent antigen is a type of antigen that contains only one type of epitope, which is the specific molecular structure that can be recognized by the immune system. This means that the antigen can only trigger a response from one type of antibody.
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 a xenoantigen?
A xenoantigen is an antigen which is found in more than one species.
How do antibodies destroy pathogens?
binding to antigens on the pathogens.The antibodies not only bind to antigens...but once bound with the antigens on the viruses they encounter. The viruses clump together and are destroyed by phagocytes.Thanks to...my BRILLIANT mind!! :PYOU ARE THE BEST!
What is a substance that the body regards as foreign?
One term that is used is antigen. An antiGEN will GENerate an ANTIbody which will 'kill' the antigen.
Can an antibody produced to fight against one antigen fight against a different antigen?
true
What does genotype cDEcde indicate?
The genotype cDEcde indicates that the individual carries one copy of the C antigen, one copy of the c antigen, as well as one copy of the E antigen and one copy of the e antigen. This genotype is related to the Rh blood group system.
Don't Rh factor is an Antigen that can cause problems in some women who bear more than one offspring true or false?
yes. you must be doing your human anatomy in Aplus too lol
Difference between monoclonal antibody and polyclonal antibody?
Monoclonal antibodies are derived from a single clone of B cells and therefore are identical in structure and specificity, targeting a single epitope on an antigen. Polyclonal antibodies, on the other hand, are produced by multiple clones of B cells and recognize multiple epitopes on an antigen, resulting in a mixture of antibodies with different specificities.
Define and distinguish antibody affinity and avidity?
An antibody (IgM for example is a pentamere), can consist out of more than one different immonoglobulines. One of the variabel regions of these immunoglobulines can bind to an epitope of an antigene, this is called affinity. When different variabel regions of one antibody bind to different epitopes on an antigene, the combined effect is called avidity. The effect is not equal to the sum of the affinity's.
What should be done if some one suffer from Australia antigen reactive?
Can patient of Australia Antigen have the physical relationship with spouse.
What is linked recognition?
Linked recognition is a cognitive process where one concept or memory triggers the recall of another related concept or memory. It involves forming connections between different pieces of information, allowing for more efficient retrieval and understanding. This process is essential for effective learning and memory consolidation.
