Document Summary

Can recognize all types of biological macromolecules, but proteins and carbohydrates are the antigens most commonly encountered. Binding of antibody to particle can disable the pathogen and makes it. An individual antibody molecule is said to be specific (it can bind to only one antigen susceptible to destruction or a very small number of different antigens: antibodies are diverse in their antigen-binding specificities. Antibody repertoire (total number of different specific antibodies that. The cell-surface b-cell antigen receptors and the secreted antibodies are known can be made by an individual) more generally as immunoglobulins: each individual b cell becomes committed to producing immunoglobulin of a unique antigen specificity. Mature b cells collectively produce immunoglobulins of many. Antibody production is the single effector function of the b lymphocytes of the immune system. Immunoglobulins group into five isotypes/classes: igg, igm, igd, iga, and ige: distinguished on the basis of structural differences in the constant part of the molecule.
