Epitopes | Antigenic determinant | Genesis Academy #Epitopes

Epitopes or antigenic determinants are 3 dimensional pockets present on the surface of an antigen. Epitopes are also known as antigenic determinants and they are responsible for the recognition and immune response by the antibodies. The whole of the antigen is never recognized by the antibodies, but only a part known as the antigenic determinants or the epitopes. The part on the antibody which recognises the epitope is called the paratope. This video is about basic immunology and will help in graduate and undergraduate students to have a better grasp of the subject. Thanks for watching.

What happens after the T cell or antiobodies bind to the epitope?
