Chemical basis of antibody antigen interaction

Antigen structures are complex and diverse, including polysaccharides, proteins, and nucleic acids, with specific chemical structures that trigger immune responses. The binding between antigens and antibodies is highly specific, determined by the complementarity between antigen epitopes and antibody paratopes, allowing precise differentiation between similar antigens. Antigens are processed by immune cells such as macrophages and dendritic cells, which present antigen fragments to T-cells, initiating an adaptive immune response.
