Any foreign substance, it can be protein, a new organ or toxin which triggers a immune response in the body is called antigen.
Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) are proteins found on the surfaces of cells that help the immune system recognize foreign substances.
Affinity chromatography is a method of separation of biochemical mixture based on a highly specific interaction. For example antigen and antibody, enzyme and substrate, receptor and ligand,
For elution most common method is to lower the pH with 0.1 M glycine HCl, pH 2.5-3.0, which disrupts the ionic and hydrogen bonds between the antigen and antibody.
In flow through segment all other things or proteins will be present except the one which has been seperated by affinity chromatography.
Immunoglobulin E is responsible for allergic responses.
