- In immunology, an
antigen (Ag) is a molecule, moiety,
foreign particulate matter, or an allergen, such as pollen, that can bind to a
specific antibody...

monosaccharide creates a
disaccharide antigen: the Thomsen-Friedenreich
antigen (Gal(b1-3)GalNAc). The
sialyl Tn
antigen (STn
antigen) is

-
antigens from the
sample to be
tested are
attached to a surface. Then, a
matching antibody is
applied over the
surface so it can bind the
antigen. This...

someone who is A+ has the A
antigen and Rh(D)

whereas someone who is A− has the A
antigen but
lacks the Rh(D)
antigen). The
