===================
↪DIFFERENCE :---

❤Affinity refers to the strength of the interaction between one antigenic epitope with one antigen binding site of the antibody.

♠Avidity is the measure of the overall strength of the interaction between antigenic epitopes with multivalence antibody.

❤This occurs between individual epitope and individual binding site.
♠This occurs between multivalent antigens and antibodies.

❤Affinity is the balance of attractive and repulsive forces.
♠Avidity can considered as a value more than the sum of the individual affinities.
