  Insights into Antigen-antibody Interactions: Mechanisms and Applications
  Author(s): Drex Thione*
  
  Antigen-antibody interactions are pivotal components of the adaptive immune response, essential for recognizing and neutralizing foreign antigens. This review explores the intricate molecular mechanisms governing these interactions, emphasizing their critical role in immunology, diagnostics, and therapeutic applications. The specificity of antibody binding, mediated through Complementarity-Determining Regions (CDRs) and diverse molecular forces, ensures precise antigen recognition. Affinity maturation processes further enhance antibody specificity and avidity, optimizing immune responses against pathogens and facilitating the development of advanced diagnostic assays. In clinical practice, antigenantibody interactions underpin a wide array of immunodiagnostic techniques, including Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assays (ELISAs) and rapid diagnostic tests, pivotal f..
