Question
Chapter 43.3, Problem 2CC
Summary Introduction
To understand: The functioning of antibodies after treatment with protease.
Introduction: An antibody is an immunoglobulin produced by the immune system of the body in order to protect the body from foreign particles. These antibodies bind to foreign particles and neutralize them. These foreign particles can be viruses, bacteria, or any pathogen, and these foreign particles can be called antigens.
