The largest antibody produced by the fetus is Immunoglobulin M (IgM). It is the first antibody to be produced in response to an infection and plays a crucial role in the fetal immune response. IgM is typically produced by the fetus around the 20th week of gestation and is important for detecting and neutralizing pathogens. Unlike other antibody classes, IgM is pentameric in structure, allowing it to effectively bind to multiple antigens.
What else can I help you with?
Which class of antibody produced by a pregnant woman may attack RBCs in her fetus resulting in erythroblastosis fetalis?
IgG molecules.
Can antibody in an unborn child harm the mother?
Immune system in a fetus is not well developed. And as such it is less likely and very less harmful for the mother to have damage from antibody from the fetus. Never the less this is possible.
How does a fetus obtain preformed antibodies?
A fetus will start producing IgM antibodies about 20 weeks into the pregnancy. The only antibody the fetus receives from it's mother is IgG which the baby will not start producing on its own until a few months after birth.
A protein produced by the body to combat foreign particles?
Antibody
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.
What is the different between polyclonal antibody and antiserum?
polyclonal antobody is the antibody produced for many or non specific antigens but antiserum is the antibody for a specific antigen
Will an antibody produce against the influenza virus lock onto a common cold virus?
No because an antibody is produced for that specific pathogen. An antibody produced against influenza will not lock onto a common cold virus because the binding site on the virus is different compared to that of an antibody.
A protein molecule produced by a plasma cell?
antibody
Where is fetus produced?
penis
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 protein is produced in the body in response to antigens?
Antibody (Ab)
Are antibody self produced?
No; antibodies cannot produce themselves.
