Consider a pencil-shaped protein with two epitopes, Y (the “eraser” end) and Z (the “point” end). They are recognized by antibodies A1 and A2, respectively. Draw and label a picture showing the antibodies linking proteins into a complex that could trigger endocytosis by a macrophage.
How are antibodies unique? Please discuss the structure of an antibody. What are the V and C regions? Discuss how the few hundred genes involved are capable of making endless amounts of antibodies. Besides medical treatment what is another way antibodies can be used?
For the diagram below, all of the following
statements are true EXCEPT:
Antigen-
binding
site
V C
Heavy chain
V
Light chain
S.S.
Fc (stem) region c C Hinge region
None of the other four answers (All are
true statements)
Antibodies (Immunoglobulins) are composed
of four protein molecules, two identical "light"
chains and two identical "heavy" chains
Antigens bind to the "stem", composed of
the constant regions of the two "heavy"
chains
The variable (V) regions form the antigen
binding sites
The constant (C) regions determine class of
antibody

P and E selectins are expressed by endothelial cells. " " TCRs consist of heavy and light chains. " " A disulfide bond can be found on TCRs.

A) O IgA: form dimers; prevent adherence of pathogens to mucosal surfaces 1f1 B) O IgG: circulating antibody with multiple functions; formed in high numbers in secondary antibody response C) O IgM: forms multimers whose function is agglutination of infectious microbes D) O IgE, IgD: carry out their function while bound to the surfaces of specific cell types E) O None are false, A-D are all correctarrow_forwardIllustrate the structure of an antibody molecule.

- Addition of immunoglobulin G (IgG) specific for hemoglobin to a solution of hemoglobin results in the formation of a red precipitate. In contrast, addition of the Fab fragments from this antibody to hemoglobin results in no such precipitate. What could explain this difference in results? Treatment with papain produces Fab fragments with different antigen specificity than the original IgG molecule. IgG can simultaneously bind two different antigens, whereas an Fab fragment can only bind one antigen at a time. The Fab fragments preferentially bind to other Fab fragments rather than to hemoglobin. The hemoglobin molecule antibody-binding sites can bind IgG molecules, but cannot bind Fab fragments.arrow_forwardThe figure above depicts an antibody. For the labeled areas, which statement among A-D is not correct? A) O Mature, functional IgA antibodies possess a total of two sites labeled A B) O Your IgM antibodies are all similar in these areas: A C) O During opsonization, area B would bind to a bacterium D) O Your IgD antibodies are all different in this area: B 111 E) O None are matched correctly.
