Discussion

Epitope is the specific part of the antigen that interacts with the specific antibodies.The epitopes are basically of two different types : linear and conformational epitopes

Option A :-Incorrect

Reason :- The linear epitopes consist of sequence of amino acid that participate in the antibody interaction and binding on the basis of primary structure of the epitope.The linear epitopes are recognised by the T cells.

Option B : CORRECT

Reason:- Conformational epitopes are defined by their primary and secondary structure in order to generate an antibody response. It contains approximately 5-30 amino acids sequence that forms a globular structure. The conformational epitopes are recognised by the B cell receptors.

Option C:- Incorrect

Reason :- B cell receptors recognise only Conformational epitopes that is formed by thev3D conformation of the amino acid sequence.

Option D:- Incorrect

Reason :- Only option B is correct as linear epitopes are recognised by the T cell receptor and the conformational epitopes are recognised by the B cell receptors.
