viral antigen that remains in solution after the particles of virus have been removed bymeans of centrifugation; in the case of the influenza viruses, it is the internal helicalstructure, free of the external envelope.
It is the measures of the ability of soluble antigen to inhibit the agglutination of antigen-coated red blood cells by antibodies. In this test, a fixed amount of antibodies to the antigen in question is mixed with a fixed amount of red blood cells coated with the antigen (research on passive hemagglutination). Also included in the mixture are different amounts of the sample to be analyzed for the presence of the antigen. If the sample contains the antigen, the soluble antigen will compete with the antigen coated on the red blood cells for binding to the antibodies, thereby inhibiting the agglutination of the red blood cells.
Another term for univalent antigen
Yes. The first signal that a T cell receives from an antigen presenting cell (dendritic cell) is MHC presenting an antigen (foreign peptide). This gives the T cell specificity to this antigen.
The protective antigen is the antigen an antibody binds to killing the pathogen. It more or less is the "kill spot" for the pathogen. Also known as protective epitope.
The carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) test is a laboratory blood study.
A soluble antigen is a viral antigen that remains after the virus has been removed. A particulate antigen is produced by particles such as dust and germs.
precipitation

precipitation reaction
effective against soluble antigens than the insoluble antigen
The Medical term is Precipitin.
An antigen can be anything from virus to bacteria to a soluble protein from outside or inside a cell. This includes both foreign and self peptides. An antibody that finds an appropriate antigen will bind to it and your B and T cells determine if it's self or not. A processed antigen came from cytosol. A protein will be taken by ubiquitin to a proteosome where it is broken up into small peptides. These peptides will make their way into the endoplasmic reticulum (through TAP) where they are exposed to MHC's.
A antigen
Abwehrstoff or Antigen
the antigen must bind to the receptor
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.
An antigen is a protein made in response to a specific antigen.
