An anti body is structure within the body that is created to attach to specific binding sites. In the case of an infection, an antibody will attach to target cell identifying it as not self and thus allow your white blood cell to get rid of it
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.
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.
Four monomers. Each antibody contains 2 light chains and 2 heavy chains.

the antibody can be uncontrollable
Antibody is a noun.
No, not all antibodies can work with any antigen. Antibodies are highly specific in recognizing and binding to a particular antigen based on their unique binding sites. The binding of an antibody to an antigen is based on complementary shapes and charges, so a specific antibody will only bind to a specific antigen that matches its binding site.
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.
