    A priority technology has been developed to obtain highly effective group-specific reagents for some immunological methods, for the adsorption-elution test and immunofluorescence, first of all. Rapid method making use of these reagents are offered to be used for detection of AB0, MNSs, P, and Le antigens in liquid blood, in trace amounts of tissues, and human excretions in objects of material evidence in forensic medical expert evaluation. These reagents may be used in blood transfusion service as well.

    Antigens Involved in Adaptive Immunity

    An antigen is any substance the immune system identifies as foreign and potentially harmful to the body, prompting an immune response. Antigens have two functional properties: immunogenicity and reactivity. Immunogenicity is the ability of an antigen to stimulate a specific immune response. At the same time, reactivity describes the antigen's ability to react with the cells and antibodies produced in response to it.

    Diversity of Antigen Receptors

    Antigen receptors are essential components of the immune system crucial in defending the body against foreign invaders. These receptors are present on the surface of B and T cells, enabling them to recognize antigens and mount an appropriate immune response.
    Before encountering any antigen, lymphocytes express these receptors. On B cells, the antigen receptor is a membrane-bound antibody molecule called BCR; on T cells, it is a T cell receptor or TCR. B and T cell receptors are composed of two...
