Question

each antigen has one epitope. multiple choice true false

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Antigens are substances that can trigger an immune response. An epitope, also known as an antigenic determinant, is the specific part of an antigen that is recognized by the immune system (such as by antibodies or T - cell receptors). In reality, most antigens are complex molecules (like proteins) and have multiple epitopes. For example, a protein antigen can have different regions (epitopes) that can bind to different antibodies. So, the statement "Each antigen has one epitope" is incorrect.

Answer:

False
