A single antigenic site on a protein against which an antibody reacts.

A part of a molecule that an antibody will recognize and bind to.

A localized region on the surface of an antigen that is chemically recognized by antibodies; also called antigenic determinant.

Any part of a molecule that acts as an antigenic determinant: a macromolecule can contain many different epitopes each capable of stimulating production of a different specific antibody.

Part of a protein that is recognized by an antibody. Huub Schelleken

The part of an antigen molecule that binds to an antibody; also called antigenic determinant.

Antigenic Determinants recognized and bound by the B-Cell receptor. Epitopes recognized by the B-Cell receptor are located on the surface of the Antigen.

Antigenic Determinants recognized and bound by the T-Cell Receptor. Epitopes recognized by the T-Cell Receptor are often located in the inner, unexposed side of the Antigen, and become accessible to t [..]

a specific part on the surface of a virus that is targeted for destruction by the body’s immune system.

The part of an antigen that stimulates an immune response.

A molecular region on the surface of an antigen capable of eliciting an immune response and of combining with the specific antibody produced by such a response.

An epitope is the name for the part of an antigen that is recognized by the immune system and to which an antibody binds. Epitopes can be composed of sugars, lipids or amino acids.

The part of a foreign substance that is recognised by an antibody.
