   Epitope
   Part of a protein's surface area liable to be recognized and bound to by an appropriate antibody. A linear epitope is composed of a single chain segment. An assembled epitope is formed from more than one chain segment

5. 
   epitope
   a molecule or portion of a molecule capable of binding to the combining site of an antibody. For every given antigenic determinant, the body can construct a variety of antibody-combining sites some of which fit almost perfectly, and others which barely fit at all Category: Medicine

   Epitope
   An `epitope` is the part of a macromolecule that is recognized by the immune system, specifically by antibodies, B cells, or T cells. Although epitopes are usually thought to be derived from nonself proteins, sequences derived from the host that can be recognized are also classified as epitopes. Most epitopes recognized by antibodies or B cells can be thought of as three-dimensional surface features of an antigen molecule; these features fit pre...
