Stages and Features of Antigen-Antibody Reactions
Introduction The combination of antigens (Ag) and antibodies (Abs) occur specifically and in observable manner. There is various usefulness of this type of reaction. Some...
Determinants of antigenicity
Antigenicity is the ability to combine specifically with the final products of the responses i.e. secreted antibodies and/or surface receptors on T cells. All molecules...
ELISA and its type
It is the abbreviated form of Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay or EIA. It is similar in principle to Radio immune assay (RIA) but instead of radioactive...
Antigenic determinants on immunoglobulins
Immunoglobulin molecules themselves function as potent immunogens when they are introduced into other animal species to induce an antibody response. For studying the B cell...
Differences between antigens and antibodies
S.N Antigens Antibodies 1. Commonly called “antibodies generating chemicals” or immunogens. Commonly called immunoglobulins. 2. Both proteinous or polysachharides. Always proteinous in nature. 3. They...
