What is a sensitized sheep red blood cell?
it's the red blood cell that's coated by the antigen-antibody complement complex.
Important effector function of antibody molecules is?
agglutination of antigenic particles.
What is the valueof monoclonal antibody technology?
monocial antibody technology has become an important tool in biochemistry, molecular biology and medicine.Monoclonal antibodies have monovalent affinity, in that they bind to the same epitope.
Which class of antibody accounts for the bulk of circulating antibody?
Igg
What are the plasma proteins that are important in body defense?
immunoglobulins.
Is complement fixation an chief antibody mediated mechanism?
Yes
Complement binding sites are located on?
Fc fragment of antibody
What is a bactericidin?
A bactericidin is any antibody which, together with a complement, can kill bacteria.
What is a bacteriocidin?
A bacteriocidin is any antibody which, together with a complement, can kill bacteria.
What is the chief ammunition used against cellular antigens?
complement fixation and activation of the antibody
The binding of an antigen to an antibody can result in?
neutralization of the antigen, agglutination or precipitation, and complement activation.
In addition to IgC the antibodies that can fix complement are?
IgG and IgM can fix complement by activating the C3 protein at the end of the complement cascade allowing ADCC (antibody dependent cell- mediated cytoxicity) to occur. I have never heard of an IgC antibody. In humans there are only 5 classes of antibodies: IgM, IgG, IgA. IgD & IgE.
What is a complement fixation?
Laboratory tests. a complement fixation (CF) test is based on.if antibodies are formed in the body in response to the illness, then the antigen and the antibody will form complexes.The serum complement fixation.confirms the presence of antibodies.
What is the purpose of a complement pathway?
The classical complement pathway is a group of proteins that arrange the antibody response when you are sick. So basically they will spring into action when something is not right in your body.
What is a complement fixation test?

What is a sensitized sheep red blood cell?
it's the red blood cell that's coated by the antigen-antibody complement complex.
A reaction using red blood cells as the indicator where the absence of hemolysis indicates a positive antigen-antibody reaction is called?
complement fixation
