Summary Introduction

Introduction:

Monoclonal antibodies are antibodies (identical) produced by specialized immune cells. They are a derivative of cell division from a single parental cell. They have monovalent affinity that can attach with same epitope.  They are used as a drug to treat arthritis, lupus, cancer, and so on.

Multipleepitopes are recognized by multiple antibodies C. A single epitope is recognized by multiple antibodies D. Two distinct, but structurally similar epitopes are recognized by the same antibody   3. What is the major benefit of cross-reactivity? A. Cross-reactivity permits the allergic response. B. Cross-reactivity promotes a faster immune response against unrelated pathogens. C. Cross-reactivity enhances immunity by providing protection against related pathogens. D. Cross-reactivity allows the immune system to respond to pathogens in various locations within the host (i.e., skin, mucosal tissues, extracellular fluids, etc.)
