Soluble antigens are dissolved in body fluids (like toxins or proteins), while particulate antigens are found on larger structures like bacteria or viruses. Soluble ones are processed by immune cells and presented to T cells, while particulate ones are often engulfed by phagocytes or activate complement directly. Soluble antigens lead to antigen-antibody complexes, and particulate ones cause clumping (agglutination) or opsonization. So, soluble = small and free-floating, particulate = bigger and part of something like a cell or microbe!
if i have soln of 20ml 100 LF antitetanic serum and i add to it 20ml of antitetanic 200 calculte LF of the resultant mixture Can i calculte it mathmatically
Ofc you can! Mixing 20mL of 100 LF antitetanic serum with 20mL of 200 LF serum? Just average it using the formula: (V1×LF1 + V2×LF2) ÷ (V1 + V2). So, (20×100 + 20×200) ÷ 40 = 150 LF. Resultant potency = 150 LF!
What is the difference between soluble antigen and particulate antigen?

Cheer~~~firmly stick or be stuck together to form a mass.
