Question

Which of the following is mismatched?
Epitope - Specific area on an antigen that
interacts with antibody
Acquired (or Adaptive) Immunity - innate,
nonspecific resistance to infection; present
at birth
Antigen - Substance that provokes a
specific immune response
Susceptibility - Lack of resistance to a
disease
Antibody - Protein made in response to an
antigen which can specifically bind to that
antigen

Expert Solution

Step 1

Ans:-

Explanation:- The first statement is correct as the epitope is that region on the antigen which will bind to the para-top region of the antibody so this epitope and the para-top combination will generate a further immune response.

The second statement is incorrect because there are two types of immunity one is that is acquired from birth and the same for all the types of antigens and this type of immunity is known as innate immunity.

The opposite of it is acquired immunity, in acquired immunity, an individual develops the immune response in course of interaction with antigens during the life span.
