What else can I help you with?
The specificity of an antibody is determined by the?
variable segments of light and heavy chains
Which parts of an antibody molecule are different for an IgG anitbody than for an IgM antibody that attacks the same antigen?
Heavy chain variable regions & light chain variable region.
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 the difference between an antibody and a B cell receptor?
Antibodies lack a transmembrane domain.
What is the Role of a variable region of an antibody molecule?
Each antibody has a variable region at the top of the arms of the Y-Shaped structure of the antibody. These variable regions each have a different sequence of amino acids and therefore a different structure. This means that only specific antigens can bind to the binding sites - only those with a complementary shape. The antigen fits into the binding site by induced fit. Once the antigen has bound to the antibody it forms a highly specific antigen-antibody complex. Therefore the role of the variable region is to produce a specific binding site for each type of antigen.
An antibody can be treated to attach to a new antigen because the changes made to the?
variable region
How is the word domain used in algebra?
Domain is used to refer to the x (or the independent variable).
What is the output variable of a function?
It is a value in the co-domain [range] of the function.
Is the x or the y the domain in a function?
x is a letter often used as a variable. It can be in the range or the domain. However, in elementary algebra, the variable x is most often used for the domain and f(x) =y for the range.
What does the word domain mean in math?
Domain is the independent variable in an equation. It is what you put "in" the equation to get the Range.
An variable provides the input values of a function?
domain
A replacement value for the variable in an open sentence?
domain
