Six distinct antibody subtypes can be produced in response to the antigen.

It is assumed that a certain antigen has six distinct antigenic determination sites.

To find out how many various types of antibodies this antigen can trigger production of, read on.

A molecule, chemical structure, foreign particle, pollen grain, or any other substance that can attach to a particular antibody or T-cell receptor is referred to as an antigen.

An epitope is an antigenic determinant, which is the component of an antigen that the immune system recognizes.

An antibody is a large, Y-shaped protein that the immune system employs to recognize and destroy foreign substances like dangerous germs and viruses.

A scientist develops a chemical that prevents golgi bodies from functioning. contrast the specific effects the chemical would ha
snow_lady [41]

The role of the Golgi body or Golgi apparatus is to package the proteins in vesicles and target it to their respective place of function. Example, the receptor proteins that are synthesised in the Endoplasmic Reticulum will be sent to the Golgi body for its packaging into the vesicles that bind and fuse with the cell membrane. The targeting is done by the special set of markers present on the secreted vesicle. All the eukaryotic cells have a Golgi apparatus. When chemical treatment is done to stop its functioning, the cell stops functioning and eventually dies due to the hampered targeting of proteins to the various organelle. On the other hand, prokaryotic cells lack Golgi body as the cell size is small enough to allow for the synthesised protein to move by diffusion to its target. Hence no effect will be seen when prokaryotic cells are treated with that chemical.
