What else can I help you with?
Is antibody a Y-shape protein?
It is a T or Y-shaped monomer of 4 looping linked polypeptide chains
The antibody molecules is held together by what bonds?
Disulfide bonds
Antibody molecules and receptor molecules are similar in that they both?
have a specific shape related to their specific function.
Which antibody function binds antibodies to soluble antigen molecules?
precipitation
What bond is antibody molecule held together by?
Antibody molecules are held together by disulfide bonds, which are covalent bonds formed between sulfur atoms in the amino acid cysteine. These bonds help maintain the structure and stability of the antibody molecule.
What is a single chain variable fragment antibody?
A single chain variable fragment (scFv) is a type of antibody that consists of the variable regions of the heavy and light chains of an antibody linked together by a short peptide linker. This results in a single polypeptide chain that retains the antigen-binding specificity of the original antibody. ScFvs are used in various research and therapeutic applications due to their small size and modular nature.
What is antibody valence?
It is the number of antigens one antibody molecule can bind to. For example, a trivalent antibody can simultaneously bind to three copies of the antigen it recognizes. This is not related to atomic valence.
How and how often is monoclonal antibody therapy for breast cancer given?
Monoclonal antibody therapy is administered through injections. How often it should be perfomed varies depending on what your doctor recommends.
Which class of antibody produced by a pregnant woman may attack RBCs in her fetus resulting in erythroblastosis fetalis?
IgG molecules.
How does the antibody protein A function in the immune system to target and neutralize pathogens?
Antibody protein A works by binding to specific molecules on the surface of pathogens, marking them for destruction by immune cells. This helps to neutralize the pathogens and prevent them from causing harm in the body.
Antibody and cell-mediated immunity are considered to be forms of what immunity?
active active B for plato users
Important effector function of antibody molecules is?
The important effector functions of antibody molecules include opsonization, where antibodies mark pathogens for destruction by immune cells, neutralization, where antibodies block the ability of pathogens to infect host cells, and complement activation, where antibodies trigger a cascade of proteins to help destroy pathogens.
