Chapter 17, Problem 5MC
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Antigens are the foreign substances or toxins that help in inducing the immune response by antibody production. Antibodies are immunoglobulins that are produced mainly by the plasma cells. For identification of the antibodies or antigens, scientists have developed various serological tests.
