This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Answers_antibody structure, responsible for the biological activity of the antibody examples of biological activities binds to receptors on NK cells (IgG), responsible for the biological activity of the antibody examples of biological activities activates the lectin complement pathway and the alternative complement pathway (IgA), responsible for the biological activity of the antibody examples of biological activities activates the classicalcomplement pathway (IgG & IgM), Antibody Structure antibody structure An antibody monomer is composed of four glycoprotein chains: two identical heavy chains and two identical light chains connected to one another by disulfide (S-S) bonds and non-covalent bonds., provides specificity for binding an epitope on an antigen; the first 110 amino acids or first domain of both the heavy and light chain of the Fab region of the antibody the amino acid sequence is variable Each B-lymphocyte, early in its development, becomes genetically programmed through a series of gene-splicing reactions to produce a Fab with a unique 3-dimensional shape capable of fitting some epitope with a corresponding shape., An antibody monomer is composed of four glycoprotein chains: two identical heavy chains and two identical light chains connected to one another by disulfide (S-S) bonds and non-covalent bonds. Fab portion provides specificity for binding an epitope on an antigen; the first 110 amino acids or first domain of both the heavy and light chain of the Fab region of the antibody, responsible for the biological activity of the antibody examples of biological activities binds to receptors on mast cells, basophils, and eosinophils (IgE), An antibody monomer is composed of four glycoprotein chains: two identical heavy chains and two identical light chains connected to one another by disulfide (S-S) bonds and non-covalent bonds. Fc portion responsible for the biological activity of the antibody, Antibody Structure definition Antibodies or immunoglobulins are specific glycoprotein configurations produced by B-lymphocytes and plasma cells in response to a specific antigen and capable of reacting with that antigen., An antibody monomer is composed of four glycoprotein chains: two identical heavy chains and two identical light chains connected to one another by disulfide (S-S) bonds and non-covalent bonds. monomers IgG, IgD, and IgE, responsible for the biological activity of the antibody examples of biological activities binds to receptors on phagocytes for opsonization(IgG), An antibody monomer is composed of four glycoprotein chains: two identical heavy chains and two identical light chains connected to one another by disulfide (S-S) bonds and non-covalent bonds. dimer secretory IgA, An antibody monomer is composed of four glycoprotein chains: two identical heavy chains and two identical light chains connected to one another by disulfide (S-S) bonds and non-covalent bonds. pentamer IgM, responsible for the biological activity of the antibody examples of biological activities determines the tissue distribution of the antibodies
