Question

Antigen determinant differs from antigen binding site in its

• A. Location
• B. Function
• C. Structure
• D. All the above

Answer 1

The correct option is D All the above

• 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 binds to the epitope is called a paratope. These epitopes interact with the paratope based on the 3-D surface features and shape or tertiary structure of the antigen.
  
• Hence, antigen determinant differs from the antigen binding site in its structure, function and location'.

So, the correct answer is 'All the above'.
