Take this immunology, antigen, and antibody structure quiz if you want to find out how much you can actually recall about this topic! Test your memory and your knowledge by taking this simple quiz that has been designed to quiz you on immunology and the structure of antigens and antibodies that have far-reaching repercussions on how exactly our body deals with any infection or foreign invasion. What are you waiting for? Let's begin!
The term epitope is not synonymous with antigen
A viral protein may contain a large number of epitopes that are capable of interacting with many different specific antibodies
Immunologic receptors on T cells recognize continuous (linear) epitopes
Immunologic receptors on T cells recognize discontinuous (conformational) epitopes
Antibodies can recognize both continuous and discontinuous epitopes

Active immunity
Passive immunity
Immunize a mouse with antigen of choice then remove the spleen when the mouse is making an antibody response
Fuse the immune spleen cells with a myeloma tumor cell
The cells are cultured in a selective medium allowing fused and non-fused cells to survive
Cells are grown in individual culture plate wells, and culture supernatants from wells contains growing hybrid cells are screened for presence of desired antibody by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)
This clone (hybridoma) is an immortal producer of the desired monoclonal antibody
