What is not part of the structure of an antibody?

Biology
1 answer:
katovenus [111]4 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Antibodies are blood proteins produced to combine with and combat specific antigens and foreign substances such as bacteria and viruses.

An antibody which is also known as immunoglobulin is a Y-shaped structure that normally consists of 4 polypeptides which are 2 heavy chains and 2 light chains. This is the structure that makes it possible for antibodies to carry out their double functions which are - Antigen binding and Biological activity mediation.

Each role is executed by different parts of the antibody. That is, the fragment crystallizable region known as the fc region and the fragment antigen binding known as fab fragment.

The fab fragment is an area on the antibody that joins to antigens. It normally consists of one variable and one static domain of each of the light chain as well as the heavy one.

The fragment crystallizable region is the tail area of an antibody that combines with surface receptors and proteins of the complement system.This normally enables the antibodies to activate the immune system

During the 18th century what was England’s view on inoculations
stepan [7]

Answer:

For many centuries, smallpox devastated mankind. In modern times we do not have to worry about it thanks to the remarkable work of Edward Jenner and later developments from his endeavors. With the rapid pace of vaccine development in recent decades, the historic origins of immunization are often forgotten. Unfortunately, since the attack on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, the threat of biological warfare and bioterrorism has reemerged. Smallpox has been identified as a possible agent of bioterrorism (1). It seems prudent to review the history of a disease known to few people in the 21st century.

Edward Jenner  is well known around the world for his innovative contribution to immunization and the ultimate eradication of smallpox (2). Jenner's work is widely regarded as the foundation of immunology—despite the fact that he was neither the first to suggest that infection with cowpox conferred specific immunity to smallpox nor the first to attempt cowpox inoculation for this purpose.

Why is a person with type AB blood able to receive a blood transfusion from a donor with any of the major blood types (A, B, AB,
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

ABO blood grouping system is based on presence or absence of three types of antigen on red blood cells. A and B blood group have A and B antigens respectively. AB blood group has both A and B antigens. O blood group does not have any antigen.

A body with particular blood type will consider other blood group foreign ( because it has different antigen ) and produce antibodies against it. A person with blood type A can not be given B type blood because the antibodies in his body will destroy RBCs with B antigen which may even prove fatal.

AB blood type person can receive blood from both A and B blood groups because he has antigens for both of them so it will produce antibodies for neither of them. He can also receive O type blood because O blood does not have any antigen so it can be given to any person without incompatibility reaction.  

However, AB individual can only donate blood to AB individual because his blood cells have both A and B antigens. So, he can only donate blood to an individual who does not produce antibodies for both A and B blood groups and that would only be another AB blood type individual.
