Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The mechanism used by B cells to increase antibody diversity should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Antigens refer to the substance which is foreign or external for the human body and arouses immune response either after forming a complex or alone with a larger molecule which has the capacity to bind T cell or antibody of the immune response.

- Irradiation of mice with a dose of 600 rad of total body irradiation eliminates 95% of total lymphocytes from spleen and lymph nodes and also eliminates all antigen-specific memory B cells. Nonetheless, when Influenza A-infected mice are subjected to this irradiation at 60-days post-infection, and then reconstituted with bone marrow cells from a naive mouse (this replenishes all of the lymphocyte populations), the levels of circulating anti-Influenza A IgG antibodies show nearly no decline when mice are monitored for the following year. What is the explanation for this finding?arrow_forwardTrue/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.
