Antigens combined with oligosaccharides can create glycoconjugate vaccines, which enhance immune response by targeting both the antigenic protein and the oligosaccharide component. This combination can lead to a more robust and effective immune response compared to traditional vaccines containing antigens alone. Glycoconjugate vaccines are commonly used to protect against bacterial infections caused by encapsulated pathogens.

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 term describes any substance that the body regards as foreign?
Antigen.
Can a receptor be an antigen?
No, they are entirely two different things. What might stimulate a receptor could be an antigen.
Is T cell activation antigen specific?
Yes, T cell activation is antigen-specific. T cells recognize specific antigenic peptides presented by antigen-presenting cells through the T cell receptor (TCR). This interaction leads to T cell activation and the initiation of an immune response against the specific antigen.
When IL-2 is secreted by antigen-specific T cells activated due to presentation of antigen by APCs What happens to naive antigen-nonspecific T cells in the vicinity?
Naive antigen-nonspecific T cells do not become activated since they lack the T cell receptor specificity for the particular antigen being presented. They do not respond to IL-2 secreted by the activated antigen-specific T cells and remain in a resting state until they encounter an antigen to which they are specific.
What do glycoproteins attached to?
oligosaccharides
What are Three- to nine-chain carbohydrates called?
Oligosaccharides
What is the molecule that can be recognized by the immune system?
Antigens.
What is antigen in German?
Abwehrstoff or Antigen
In order for a lymphocyte to respond to an antigen the antigen must?
the antigen must bind to the receptor
What stimulates the growth of bifidobacteria and are considered prebiotics?
Fructo-oligosaccharides
Which of the following is not an antigen that may be found on the surface of an erythrocyte a A antigen b B antigen c O antigen d Rh antigen?
The O antigen is not an antigen that may be found on the surface of an erythrocyte. A and B antigens are present in the ABO blood group system, while the Rh antigen is part of the Rh blood group system. O blood type individuals lack A and B antigens on their red blood cells.
What is antigene and antibody?
An antigen is a substance that can invoke an immune response. While an antibody is the immune system's response to an antigen. Antibodies, act by directly neutralizing the antigen and/or bind to the antigen and signaling marcophages to phagocytose the antigen.
What is the protein made in a response to a specific antigen called?
An antigen is a protein made in response to a specific antigen.
What fibers stimulate the growth of bifidobacteria and are considered prebiotics?
Fructo-oligosaccharides
Why do beans make you full of gas?
Oligosaccharides from beans are not completely metabolised.
What blood has antigen but without antibody?
Surface antigen
