An antigen is any substance that causes your immune system to produce antibodies against it. An antigen may be a foreign substance from the environment. If you get a vaccine for rubella, the antibody formed will not act against mumps (another virus).

Antigens are: proteins, polysaccharides, glycoproteins, or glycolipids. Antibodies are specific for that antigen.

what antibody use in western blot technique?
Generally there are two antibodies used. Primary antibody which can bind specifically to the protein of interest. And a secondary antibody coupled with a detection system such as HRP that would bind the primary antibody and signals the presence of protein of interest.
What type of protein helps identify foreign cells?
An antibody is a highly specific protein that attaches itself to a foreign substance.
How does gene code for an antibody?
antibody is just a protein. Every gene codes a protein. So an antibody protein is coded by codons (triplets of nucleotides) in the gene.
What is a protein thatacts against a specific antigen?
Antibody.
Macromolecule would antibodies belong?
They are Proteins =)

How specific protein can be detected in western blot?
Specific proetins can be detected by its specific mono clonal antibody. Primary antibodies specifically binds to the proetins on the membrane. Secondary antibody interact with primary antibody and signals its presence by chemiluminescence.
What is the protein that destroys pathogen?
antibody
Is an antibody a carbohydroate?
No, it is not. Antibody = A protein that fights infection.
Are anitgens proteins?
Yes. An antigen is a substance that stimulates an animal in order to produce an antibody reaction to counteract the substance by a specific binding antibody-antigen. Most of the times this antigen is a molecule of protein.
What is the name of the substance that coats B cells providing them with the ability to recognize foreign protein stimulating the antigen antibody reaction?
immunoglobulins
A protein produced by the body to combat foreign particles?
Antibody
Is antibody a Y shape protein?
YES
What is a disease-fighting protein created by the immune system in response to the presence of a specific antigen?
Antibody - produced by B lymphocytes.
