Antibody Specificity

Antibody specificity refers to an antibody's ability to bind and recognise a specific antigen. It is a vital property of an antibody and is integral to the immune response. Antibodies bind to antigens in a highly selective and specific manner. This specificity allows antibodies to bind to and neutralise specific targets, such as viruses, bacteria, and other foreign substances, while leaving the body's normal cells unharmed. It also enables diagnostic tests, such as ELISA, Western Blot, and PCR, to accurately detect the presence of a specific antigen. Thus, antibody specificity is of crucial importance for the efficacy of many immunological processes and diagnostic applications.
