HND Immunology

        Help!  

Question
Answer
show Because they have multiple epitopes.  
🗑
What does the serum produced upon exposure to an antigen contain?   show
🗑
show No, each pairing will have a different affinity.  
🗑
Can individual affinities be measured in the antiserum?   show
🗑
show The total binding strength between the antiserum and antigen.  
🗑
show Avidity is always greater than the total sum of affinities.  
🗑
show They can be linked together by two or more antibody molecules.  
🗑
What happens if one antibody dissociates from the multivalent antigen and antibody complex?   show
🗑
show Because some antibodies are dissociating and others are re-associating all the time.  
🗑
show Cross-linking.  
🗑
What is cross-linking crucial for?   show
🗑
show The maximum number of epitopes an immunoglobulin can react with.  
🗑
show The number of Fab regions present on the immunoglobulin.  
🗑
What is the valency of IgG?   show
🗑
What is the valency of IgD?   show
🗑
What is the valency of IgE?   show
🗑
show 2 in its monomeric serum form. 4 in its dimeric secretory form.  
🗑
What is the valency of IgM?   show
🗑
show More antigen binding sites, which lead to more binds, meaning less dissociation and greater avidity.  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
