How does gene code for an antibody?
antibody is just a protein. Every gene codes a protein. So an antibody protein is coded by codons (triplets of nucleotides) in the gene.
What is the protein that destroys pathogen?
antibody
Is an antibody a carbohydroate?
No, it is not. Antibody = A protein that fights infection.
A protein produced by the body to combat foreign particles?
Antibody
Is antibody a Y shape protein?
YES
what antibody use in western blot technique?
Generally there are two antibodies used. Primary antibody which can bind specifically to the protein of interest. And a secondary antibody coupled with a detection system such as HRP that would bind the primary antibody and signals the presence of protein of interest.
What is a disease-fighting protein created by the immune system in response to the presence of a specific antigen?
Antibody - produced by B lymphocytes.
A protein molecule produced by a plasma cell?

What protein can defend against a virus?

What is antibody and what you is the function?
Antibody is a type of protein produced by the immune system, its function is to fight antigens (bacteri, virus)
What is a sentence for antibody?
Ann antibody is a complex protein molecule. Our immune system uses antibodies to fight bacteria.
Why polyclonal antibody solution is able to precipitate its antigen protein whereas monlclonal antibody solution has hard time to do so?
Polyclonal antibody recognizes several epitopes on the target protein while monoclonal antibody recognizes only single epitope. Sometimes, monoclonal antibodies are not able to precipitate the antigen because the epitope might need to be exposed on the surface of the antigen to be recognized by the antibody. Since the epitope might be hidden and it's a single epitope that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody, the propability of the antibody to reconize the epitope is lower compared with the polyclonal antibody that recognizes several epitopes on the target protein.
