Which components in Anti-a and Anti-B sera caused clumping?
Anti-A and Anti-B sera contain antibodies that recognize and bind to A and B antigens present on red blood cells. The clumping, or agglutination, occurs when these antibodies bind to their specific antigens on the RBCs, leading to cross-linking and formation of visible clumps.
Can antibodies bind to multiple antigens simultaneously?
Yes, antibodies can bind to multiple antigens simultaneously.
Proteins in blood that bind to antigens?
Antibodies.
What happens to an antigen-antibody complex?
The antigen grows a memory cell instead of the Plasma cell and takes over the whole body and kills all of the antibodies.
List and describe 4 ways antibodies aid in immunity?
There are four types of antibodies that aid in immunity. The Lysins bind the antigens therefore causing them to disintegrate. The Agglutinins bind the antigens causing the micro-organisms to clump together. The Antitoxins bind the toxins therefore making them harmless to the body. The Opsonins bind the antigens on the outer surface.
Which are specific molecules that are recognized by the body as foreign and to which antibodies bind known as?
Specific molecules that are recognized by the body as foreign and to which antibodies bind are called antigens. Antigens can be proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, or nucleic acids that stimulate an immune response when they enter the body.
Do B cells have antibodies on their surface?
Yes, B cells have antibodies on their surface that help them recognize and bind to specific antigens.
When the antigens on erythrocytes bind with antibodies in the plasma?
Agglutination and eventual lysis of erythrocytes occurs.
How are antibodies and antigens related in the immune response?
Antibodies are proteins produced by the immune system in response to antigens, which are foreign substances that trigger an immune response. Antibodies bind to antigens to help neutralize or eliminate them from the body, playing a crucial role in the immune response.
Process of immunity?
The process of immunity is to produce specific antibodies that bind to antigens on the surface of pathogens. =]
Which are specific molecules that are recognized by the body as foreign and to which antibodies bind known?
Those are known as antigens.
True or False Immunofluorescence microscopy uses antibodies linked to fluorochromes to bind to and label antigens on cells?
true
