How is an antigen involved in the immune response?

Click here for a short animation of how antigens stimulate antibody production. There are several other immune system animations on the right side of the page! Enjoy:)
Did you watch any of the other animations? If so, which ones were the most helpful or relevant?

    Thanks Leslie!!! I now understand a bit more about the pathogens and antigens! But isn't the antibodies supposed to connect to two antigens instead of one?

    The epitope animation was helpful and clearly demonstrates the production of antibodies and their specific function.
    I watched some of the other animations and thought that they are also equally helpful!

    It was very interesting to learn about how the epitopes on the surface of the antigens were what antibodies bind to.

    This was really helpful and now I understand the concepts.

    It's funny how the epitopes are on the antigen, which is on the pathogen. It's interesting how the antibody actually attaches to the epitope.

    This was really cool! So, were the epitodes kind of like the receptors for the receptors? Thanks, hope you're all having a good weekend. BTW, www.regentsprep.org is a great site for Regents. It teaches you about the answers to the questions and of topics. It has topics for all of the Regents subjects too. Hope it helps for the quiz.

    Very interesting and helpful. But are epitopes pretty much the antigen of an antigen of a pathogen?

    The epitopes on the antigens are like the antigens on the pathogens. Interesting!

    This really helped me understand what happens to pathogens when they enter the blood stream. But is an antigen the same as a pathogen??
    THANK YOU

    very cool but dont the antibodies conect to the antigen not the epitopes
