Expert Solution

Step 1
Antibody - Antibody is defined as the Y - shaped protein. Antibody is also called as Immunoglobulin. Antibody are produced by the plasma cells. These antibody help the immune system to fight against the pathogens. Thereby, these antibody helps to increase the immunity of our body.
There are different kinds of antibody present in the body of the organisms. These are:
1. IgG - release at Secondary Immune response
2. IgA - release at Secondary Immune response
3. IgM - release at Primary Immune response
4. IgE - release at Secondary Immune response
5. IgD - release at Primary Immune response

- True/False: The different classes of immunoglobulins differ in the sequences of their heavy chain constant regions. As a result, each class of antibody has distinct effector functions. Nonetheless, they are all found at about equal concentrations in the serum of healthy individuals.arrow_forwardAntibodies don't kill any pathogen directly. Describe FIVE different ways that antibodies help our body fight diseases.arrow_forwardTrue or False: In complement fixation, a positive test result means that the red blood cells used in the test are destroyedarrow_forward
- True/False: The antibody protein has two functional domains, one for antigen binding and a second to confer specific effector functions. These two functional domains are encoded by the antibody light chain and antibody heavy chain polypeptides, respectively.arrow_forwardtrue or false Proteins which help protect cells that haven't been infected by a virus are called interferons. True Falsearrow_forwardTRUE OR FALSE: In most cases where certain viral infections appears to be linked to an autoimmune disease, there is often a very clear indication of cross-reactive antigens between the pathogen and the autoantigens targeted by the autoimmune disease.arrow_forward
- true or false The main role of neuroimmune cell units at barrier surfaces is barrier protection .arrow_forwardTrue/False: Unlike innate immune responses, adaptive immune responses are initiated in secondary lymphoid organs. However, the innate immune response to an infection in a tissue has a pivotal role in inducing T-cell responses in the nearest lymph node by activating tissue dendritic cells and inducing their migration to the lymph node.arrow_forwardTrue/False: The C3 convertase amplifies the process of complement activation by generating large amounts of C3b and cleaving large numbers of C5 molecules.arrow_forward
