Question

an individual antibody is made against__________.multiple choicea whole bacterial cellone epitope of an antigenone antigen on the cellall of the combined antigenic determinants on a cellthe cells dna

Explanation:

Antibodies are highly specific. An epitope is a small part of an antigen that an antibody binds to. A whole bacterial cell has multiple antigens, each with multiple epitopes. One antigen on a cell has multiple epitopes. All combined antigenic determinants (which are epitopes) on a cell would imply multiple - antibody responses. The cell's DNA is not the typical target (antibodies usually target surface - exposed molecules like proteins on antigens). An individual antibody is made against one specific epitope of an antigen.

Answer:

one epitope of an antigen
