Antigens vs. antibodies An antibody is a protein produced by a host to bind to foreign particles and inactivate them. Ideally‚ the antibody binds to only their specific antigen. Antigens are defined as anything that makes the immune system respond by producing antibodies. They are often viruses‚ bacteria‚ or fungi‚ but can sometimes be dust‚ chemicals‚ pollen‚ or food proteins that cause allergic reactions. (Antigens that cause allergic reactions are called allergens). An epitope is the part of

ANTIGENS (Synonyms: non-self molecules‚ immunogen‚ foreign bodies.) Definition: Antigens are simple or complex foreign substances‚ which may be organic‚ inorganic or biological agents and they enhances/ provokes/ elicits the immune response against that when they are enters the body pareneterally. Immunogen is a molecule that stimulate the immune response in the system When a foreign bodies or substances enter the system or body‚ it mediates immediate or delayed type

WHY IT IS BETTER TO STUDY LOCALLY RATHER THAN OVERSEAS Specific Purpose: To persuade my audience on the benefits of studying locally and to convince them that ultimately‚ in the long run‚ it is wiser rather than studying overseas. Central Idea: It is very much better to study locally‚ not only because of the good quality of studies here‚ but many other supporting factors to ensure a balanced and wholesome life.

foodborne disease outbreak occurs when two or more people get the same illness from the same contaminated food or drink. The number of people sick from the outbreak -While many of them were found to have sickened a handful of individuals‚ a few stood out as especially wide in scope. Food Safety News has compiled a list of the 10 most harmful U.S. outbreaks of 2015‚ in terms of both the number of people who died and the number sickened.

absence of certain protein molecules called antigens and antibodies. The antigens can be found on the surface of red blood cells and the antibodies are in the blood plasma. Individuals have different types and combination of these molecules. Blood group is like a trait which we inherit to our parents. The blood group you belong depends on what you have inherited from your parents. There are three types of antigens: A antigen‚ B antigen‚ and rhesus (Rh) antigen which shows positive or negative in the

html An antibody also known as an immune globulin (Ig) is a protein that a B Lymphocyte secretes in response to a non-self antigen. Every antibody is a Y-shaped molecule‚ made of four polypeptide chains (quaternary). Every mammal is able to make millions of different antibodies each with a different pair of binding sites for one type of antigen only. Antibodies are produced by white blood cells; they are used to help fend of attacks by pathogens. The antibodies are created using

illustrated as you may concern: Direct ELISA (1) Direct ELISAs involve attachment of the antigen to the solid phase‚ followed by an enzyme-labeled antibody. This type of assay generally makes measurement of crude samples difficult‚ since contaminating proteins compete for plastic binding sites. Indirect ELISA (2) Indirect ELISAs also involve attachment of the antigen to a solid phase‚ but in this case‚ the primary antibody is not labeled. An enzyme-conjugated secondary antibody‚ directed at the
