Why do you suppose that the influenza virus protein that binds the virus toan infected cell is called hemagglutinin? Hemagglutination is the clumpingtogether of red blood cells.

Hemagglutinin are glycoproteins which cause red blood cells to agglutinate or clump together.

Why antibodies raised against a native protein sometimes fails to bind to the corresponding denatured protein?Explain your answer.
The immunoglobulin molecules of a particular mammalian species have kappa and lambda light chains and heavy chains. The kappa gene consists of 250 V and 8 J segments. The lambda gene contains 200 V and 4 J segments. The gene for the heavy chain consists of 300 V, 8 J, and 4 D segments. If just somatic recombination and random combinations of light and heavy chains are taken into consideration, how many different types of antibodies can be produced by this species?
