Document Summary

Chapter 21 quiz #5 | humoral immunity, antibodies and allergies. Antibodies each have two binding sites (it"s shaped like a y). Or complement (complement assembles creating poles) which leads to cell lysis. Both precipitation and complement enhance inflammation though histamine release. Antibodies look for antigens, and they form a complex when they bind. Neutralization // makes dangerous parts of bacterial exotoxins; viruses; antibody prevents virus from attaching. Agglutination // cell-bound antigens; 5 antibodies bind together which can bind to 4 more red blood cells. Instead of having infected red blood cells moving around the blood infecting other cells, they bind together and sink to the bottom o the blood vessel. Precipitation // soluble antigens; similar to agglutination, antigens and antibodies will bind to each other and will sink to the bottom of blood vessels. Cells bind easily to the fc receptor, allowing the macrophage to easily engulf and destroy it. Complement // activating the complement forms pores.
