Question

The samples that you added to the microplate strip contain many proteins and may or may not contain the disease antigen. What happened to the proteins in the plastic well if the sample contained the antigen?

Answer 1

Answer:

If the sample contain antigen then there will be indirect capture to the protein in plastic well.

Explanation:

• The antigen cannot come to the surface of the plate by the antibody which is previously attached to the surface.

• Antigen is the foreign body that induces immune system and produce antibodies.

• Antibodies are usually Y-shaped that is produced by the 'B-cells' of the 'immune system' in response to the antigen.

• Antibody contains paratope that recognizes epitope on antigen and acts like bind which helps to eliminate antigen from the body.
