Cell receptors and antibodies both have a specific shape requirement in order for them to work. I guess thats what makes them similar.

What is the Cell that receives and transmit information?
nerve cell or receptors nerve cell or receptors nerve cell or receptors
What do intracellular receptors do?
The intracellular receptors differ from membrane receptors based on their location. Membrane receptors are usually on the plasma membrane but the intracellular receptors are found inside the cell.
What blood cell are antibodies produced by?
Antibodies are produced by a kind of white blood cell called a plasma cell.
What type of receptors is within a cell?
Intracellular receptors. They are receptor proteins found on the inside of the cell, typically in the cytoplasm or nucleus
Is cell adhesion a function of the membrane receptors?
No
One similarity between cell receptors and antibodies is?
Are highly specific in their actions
One similarity between cell receptors and antibodies is that both?
highly specific
What do IgE antibodies T cell receptors and MHC molecules have in common?
They are all players of your adaptive immunity.
A specific protein that recognizes certain molecules?
There are antibodies and cell-surface receptors and enzymes; is there a more specific A. in view?
What is one similarity between cell receptors and antibodies?
Both agents are highly specific in their actions, and respond to a specific stimulus.
How are receptors and transport proteins similar?
they are both components of the cell membrane
How are allergens and antigens similar?
Antibodies (Abs), T cell receptors (TCRs) and MHC molecules are all involved in the adaptive immune response. All 3 of these (Abs, TCRs and MHCs) have a range of diversity of structure and are composed of different chains. In most animals (including humans) antibodies are composed of 2 heavy chains and 2 light chains, each of which has constant and variable regions. This is very similar to a T cell receptor, which is composed of an α (alpha) and β (beta) chain - which have a contant and variable region. In both cases, it is the variable region(s) which determines what the antibody or the T cell receptor can bind to. This is very important for their function. T cell receptors (TCRs) and antibodies (Abs) are also similar in that their genes are combined and spliced in different ways to create diversity. It is important that both TCRs and Abs be able to recognise may different things. MHC molecules are responsible for presenting antigens to T cell receptors. Once again, they are composed of an α (alpha) and β (beta) chain, which are different depending on whether they are MHC I or MHC II.

What do intracellular receptors do?

What blood cell are antibodies produced by?
Antibodies are produced by a kind of white blood cell called a plasma cell.
Antibodies can stick to?
Antibodies stick to any viruses or infections. They don't attack, but they are like homing devices. They track the diseases so white blood cells (the attackers) know where the diseases are.
