cross-reaction
cross-re·ac·tion (krôs′rē-ăk′shən, krŏs′-)n. The reaction between an antigen and an antibody that was generated against a different but similar antigen.
cross′-re·act′ v.cross′-re·ac′tive adj.cross′-re·ac·tiv′i·ty n.cross′-reac′tion
n. an immunologic reaction between a given antigen and an antibody or lymphokine that is specific for a different antigen. [1945–50] cross′-reac′tive, adj. cross`-reactiv′ity, n. cross-reaction
cross-reaction[′krȯs rē′ak·shən] (immunology) Reaction between an antibody and a closely related, but not complementary, antigen. cross-reaction
cross-reaction [kros´re-ak-shun] an interaction between an antibody and an antigen closely related to the antigen that specifically stimulated synthesis of the antibody.cross-re·ac·tionantibodies evoked by antigens with shared or similar idiotypic determinants may bind or cross-react with each other's respective antigens, even if their antigen-specificity is not identical.cross-reaction (krôs′rē-ăk′shən, krŏs′-)n. The reaction between an antigen and an antibody that was generated against a different but similar antigen.
cross′-re·act′ v.cross′-re·ac′tive adj.cross′-re·ac·tiv′i·ty n.cross-reaction Immunology A partial reaction or 'recognition' of an epitope by an antibody generated in response to another antigencross-re·ac·tion (kraws'rē-ak'shŭn) A specific reaction between an antiserum and an antigen complex other than the antigen complex that evoked the various specific antibodies of the antiserum. It is due to at least one antigenic determinant that is included among the determinants of the other complex. cross-reaction The association of an ANTIBODY with an ANTIGEN that differs from the antigen that first stimulated the production of the antibody. Cross reaction is unlikely unless there is close chemical similarity between the two antigens. Some diseases are believed to result because of antigenic similarities between certain body tissues and parts of infecting organisms, such as STREPTOCOCCI.Cross-reactionA reaction that occurs in blood testing when a disease agent reacts to the specific antibody for another disease agent. Cross-reactions are common in blood tests for fluke infections because the different species are closely related.Mentioned in: Fluke Infections, Tuberculin Skin Test |
