Prescott's Microbiology 9th Edition by Joanne Willey, Linda Sherwood, Christopher J. Woolverton
Antibody Affinity Notes:
Antibody affinity is the term that is used to refer the strength and force with which the epitope binds to the antibody through the antigen-binding site (paratope). The antibodies with the characteristic of high affinity, bind rapidly with the antigen and thus display sensitivity in the assays and the bond is stronger in tough situations.
