Question

The followings are functions of antibody eliminating unknown particles or cells which enter into the body, except...

A. Attach to the active side of particle or cell that enters into the body

B. Make easier of macrophage to phagositosize unknown particle or cell that enters the body

C. Precipitate the unknown particle that dissolves in body fluid 

D. Initiate the working system of complement

E. Eliminate bacteria that grows on endosome of macropahge

Expert Solution
Step 1

An antibody is also known by the name of immunoglobulin. It is a large Y shaped protein that is produced by plasma cells to neutralize pathogens.

Step 2

Option a is given as "Attach to the active side of particle or cell that enters into the body."

There is a specific region on an antigen to which the antibody binds which is known as an antigen-binding site. The strength of the interaction between antigen and antibody is determined by the binding site of the antigen. The binding site of the antigen serves as an active site for the antigen. 

Option b is given as "Make easier of macrophage to phagositosize unknown particle or cell that enters the body"

Antigen presentation results in the production of antibodies that attach to the antigens, making it easier for the macrophages to attach to the cell membrane and phagocytose.

Option c is given as "Precipitate the unknown particle that dissolves in a body fluid"

This is also a function of the antibody. The process is termed as agglutination. It is the process where the antigen clumps if mixed with the corresponding antibody in a fluid.

Option d is given as "Initiate the working system of complement"

Antibodies initiate the working system of complement. It is a system of plasma proteins that can be activated by antigen bound antibody leading to a cascade of reactions that generates active compounds with various functions.
