An antigen is an agent present on the foreign cells, which the immune system recognizes. It is an immunogenic portion present on the foreign cell or substance. These antigens are …
Monoclonal antibodies are a set of antibodies that are target-specific against one single source of antigen. A recent development in cell biology has allowed the fusion of different cells to …
The bacteria and virus are different set of pathogens or living entities. Both of them are microscopic but virus is 10 to 100 times smaller than the bacteria. Infact some …

Western blotting is an immunoassay reaction technique that helps to detect protein molecules at nanogram quantities. It is a widely used technique in cellular and molecular biology for the detection …
An organism is one which lives an independent life. Single-cell organisms are pretty interesting in that with a single cell; they perform the entire activities. There are billions of cells …
Innate immunity is a part of the immune system which exists from the birth of an individual. It is also called natural immunity as it is a basic method of …
