An epitope, also known as an antigenic determinant, is the part of an antigen that is recognized by the immune system, specifically by antibodies, B cells, or T cells. For example, the epitope is the specific piece of the antigen to which an antibody binds. The small site on an antigen to which a complementary antibody may specifically bind is called an epitope or antigenic determinant. This is usually one to six monosaccharides or five to eight amino acid residues on the surface of the antigen.
