- Antigenic determinant: the site on the surface of an antigen molecule to which an antibody attaches itself
- An epitope, also known as antigenic determinant, is the part of an antigen that is recognized by the immune system, specifically by antibodies, B cells, or T cells. The part of an antibody that recognizes the epitope is called a paratope. ...
- That part of a biomolecule (such as a protein) that is the target of an immune response
- (Epitopes) Distinctive markers that protrude from the surface of an antigen and that alert the immune system to the antigen's presence.
- (Epitopes) separate antigenic areas within a given protein.
- An alternative term for antigenic determinant.
- A specific site on an antigen that stimulates specific immune responses, such as the production of antibodies or activation of immune cells.
- The part of an antigen evoking a response by, and which binds to, an antibody or a T cell. Large antigens may contain many different epitopes, each capable of stimulating production of a different specific antibody or CTL. Epitopes may only be a few amino acids long.
- Region within an antigen that has the potential to give rise to an antibody response. With respect to protein antigens, epitopes may be defined on the basis of primary, secondary, or tertiary structure of the molecule and, consequently, maybe exposed or hidden within the molecule.
