WILL GIVE MEDAL & BECOME FAN!! What is the function of an antigen in an antigen-antibody response? A. provide a protective shell around the antibody B. inform white blood cells of the invader so it can be destroyed C. is informed by the white blood cell of an invader so it can be destroyed D. restore DNA in damaged cells
C, it gets destroyed in the process because it is recognized as non self, and it triggers an immunological response.
antigen, or antibody generator is any substance which provokes an adaptive immune response. An antigen is often foreign or toxic to the body (for example, a bacterium) which, once in the body, attracts and is bound to a respective and specific antibody. That is to say, an antigen is a molecule that also induces an immune response in the body. @xxchickgonemadxx have you learnt this concept? :)
