Oct 31, 2015 · Epitopes are the specific sites on antigens that are recognized by immune cells. Antibodies are Y-shaped proteins produced in response to antigens that help eliminate pathogens in the body. The main antibody classes are IgG, IgM, IgA, IgE, and IgD, which have different structures and functions.
Jun 30, 2019 · It discusses the types and properties of antigens, the structure and classes of immunoglobulins which are antibodies, and techniques used to detect the antigen-antibody reaction such as precipitation, agglutination, and specific tests like the VDRL test and Widal test.
Antibodies. The formal chemical name for antibodies is immunoglobulins. Immunoglobulins are protein molecules which defend your body from foreign toxins known as antigens. Immunoglobulin G, IgG, is the major antibody in serum (blood) and will be what we use for example purposes.

Nov 16, 2014 · Antibody-Antigen Interaction • The interaction of the antibody with an antigen causes a change in shape of the antibody • May cause the exposure of another site which then is responsible for the various reactions elicited by the antibody to destroy the foreign substance.

What determines the strength of an antibody-antigen interaction?
Antigens and antibodies combine with each other specifically and in an observable manner. In the body, they form the basis of antibody mediated immunity in infectious diseases. In laboratory, they help in diagnosis of infections, in epidemiological surveys, in the identification of infectious agents.
