Antigens, commonly, are referred to as substances that are capable of triggering an immune response in a host, precisely by activating the lymphocytes or initiating antibody production against the infection.
However, there are some other than in the ABO blood group system which are called minor blood groups and these are represented in more than 600 known
antigens besides A, B and Rh.
The EBV Capsid
Antigen P18; EBV Capsid
Antigen P23; EBV Early
Antigen P138; EBV Early
Antigen P54; and EBV Nuclear
Antigen EBNA1, P72 have all been expressly designed for use as integral components within solid phase enzyme immunoassay test procedures, especially ELISA.
Sensitivity of local
antigen: Serial tenfold dilutions (Undiluted, 10-1 to 10-6) of all the three
antigens were prepared in Normal saline and each dilution was subjected to agglutination test with known positive and negative antisera to find out the minimum number of bacterial cells (best dilution) required to be used for visible agglutination.
With many advanced types of cancer, certain tumor- associated
antigens such as CEA (cancer embryonic
antigen), PSA (prostate specific
antigen) and MUC1 (cell surface associated mucin 1) are over-expressed (that is, produced in very large quantities) and aberrantly expressed (produced in abnormal forms).
The AUCs of the A and B
antigens in the previous TB group were 0.60 and 0.58, respectively.
Sensitization to HLA
antigens in organ transplant patients causes graft rejection, according to the humoral theory of transplantation [1].
In the last decade, a test assessing the occurrence of Helicobacter (H.) pylori
antigens in feces has been applied and popularized [1,2].
