2antigen capture assay — a method for identifying minute quantities of antigen in solution: large quantities of antibody against the desired antigen are fixed to a solid support matrix, over which the solution is passed. The antigen is retained by the matrix and can be… …
3antigen — Any substance that, as a result of coming in contact with appropriate cells, induces a state of sensitivity and/or immune responsiveness after a latent period (days to weeks) and that reacts in a demonstrable way with antibodies and/or immune… …
4antigen — A substance, usually a protein, that induces the formation of defending antibodies. Example: bacterial toxins, Juniper pollen (in allergies). Auto immune disorders can occur when antibodies are formed against normal proteins created within the …
5conjugated antigen — antigen produced by coupling a hapten to a protein carrier molecule through covalent bonds; when it induces immunization, the resultant immune response is directed against both the hapten and the carrier …
