Ans.

Opsonization is defined as an immune reaction that includes ingestion and elimination of a pathogens by phagocytes, with the help of antibodies and complement proteins.

The antibodies involve in opsonization are mainly IgG (gamma immunoglobulins). The IgG binds with pathogen via its Fab (antigen-binding fragment) domain and opsonizes it. The antibody-pathogen complex then binds with an immune cell via Fc (fragment of crystallization) domain of IgG antibody that triggers secretion of lytic proteins from immune cell to kill the pathogen.

Thus, 'opsonization is a representative of IgG antibody function.'

Describe the Cell Cycle [Interphase, G1 phase, S phase, G2 phase]<br> describe them all please :)
Svet_ta [14]

<em>G1, S and G2 phases are all cumulatively referred to as interphase involving the growth of a cell and the replication of its DNA. Initially in G1 phase, the cell grows physically and increases the volume of both protein and organelles. In S phase, the cell copies its DNA to produce two sister chromatids and replicates its nucleosomes. Finally, G2 phase involves further cell growth and organisation of cellular contents. The S phase of a cell cycle occurs during interphase, before mitosis or meiosis, and is responsible for the synthesis or replication of DNA. In this way, the genetic material of a cell is doubled before it enters mitosis or meiosis, allowing there to be enough DNA to be split into daughter cells. The S phase only begins when the cell has passed the G1 checkpoint and has grown enough to contain double the DNA. S phase is halted by a protein called p16 until this happens.</em>
