Detailed explanation-1: -Antibodies are protective proteins produced by your immune system. They attach to antigens (foreign substances)-such as bacteria, fungi, viruses and toxins-and remove them from your body.
Detailed explanation-2: -In any given antigen, a B cell will recognize one of a multitude of epitopes, and different B cell clones will secrete antibodies specific to different epitopes within the same antigen. Antibodies secreted by B cells from the same clone are monoclonal antibodies as they bind specifically to the same epitope.
Detailed explanation-3: -If the sample contains the antigen, the soluble antigen will compete with the antigen coated on the red blood cells for binding to the antibodies, thereby inhibiting the agglutination of the red blood cells.
