Antibody #84

Closed rsc3 closed 2 years ago

Model for Antibody.

Things undone:

ontology terms for immunogen
should we model antigen as well (less specific than immunogen)
what exactly does PartNumber mean?

I also added some changes to TerraDCAT_AP which came up while I was working on this

An immunogen refers to a molecule that is capable of eliciting an immune response by an organism's immune system, whereas an antigen refers to a molecule that is capable of binding to the product of that immune response. So, an immunogen is necessarily an antigen, but an antigen may not necessarily be an immunogen.
