Chapter 15, Problem 5CP
Summary Introduction

To review:

The complement fixation and the roles of complement fragments that do not become fixed.

Introduction:

The antibodies are proteinaceous structures that play significant role in defending the body against numerous pathogens. The antibodies do not kill the antigen instead they neutralize the antigen by binding with them. The antigens are coated by the antibodies hence, they become the targets for the neutrophils and macrophages.

Blurred answer
