A cold antibody is an antibody that reacts optimally at temperatures below body temperature, typically around 4°C. These antibodies can cause hemolysis (destruction of red blood cells) when blood is exposed to cold temperatures.
Generally there are two antibodies used. Primary antibody which can bind specifically to the protein of interest. And a secondary antibody coupled with a detection system such as HRP that would bind the primary antibody and signals the presence of protein of interest.
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.
primary antibody is what binds to the specific gene that you are interested in looking at; i.e. primary is rabbit-antibody bind to its proper epitope. and this is usually unconjugated with no label. the secondary antibody is conjugated with some type of label, i.e., you will be able to see if your gene is being expressed. i.e., if primary from a rabbit, want goat-anti-rabbit, this way it can bind to the primary antibody.
Four monomers. Each antibody contains 2 light chains and 2 heavy chains.
An antigen stimulates B cells to produce a specific antibody. This antibody is capable of recognizing and binding to the antigen that stimulated its production, marking it for destruction by other components of the immune system.
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.

Antibody is a noun.
No, it is not. Antibody = A protein that fights infection.
Antigen is the opposite of antibody.
Monoclonal antibody

Chickenpox and shingles result from the same virus, and generate the same antibodies. There is no difference between chickenpox antibody and shingles antibody, and there is only one test (varicella virus antibody) for both.

When choosing a secondary antibody for your experiment, consider the primary antibody you are using and select a secondary antibody that is specific to the species and isotype of the primary antibody. Additionally, ensure that the secondary antibody is compatible with the detection method you are using, such as fluorescence or enzyme-linked detection. Conducting a thorough literature review and consulting with colleagues or antibody suppliers can also help in selecting the most suitable secondary antibody for your experiment.
