How are antigens recognized by antibodies? The antibody recognizes a unique part of the foreign target, called an antigen. Each tip of the “Y” of an antibody contains a paratope that is specific for one particular epitope (analogous to a lock and key) on an antigen, allowing these two structures to bind together with precision. Do lymphocytes respond to antibodies? B lymphocytes become cells that produce antibodies. Antibodies attach to a specific antigen and make it easier for the immune cells to destroy the antigen. T lymphocytes attack antigens directly and help control the immune response. Do lymphocytes respond to...
