Antibodies; immunoglobulins; variable portions
The remainder portion of each chain that determines other properties of the antibody
Constant
5 classes of antibodies
- ______ bivalent antibody snd constitutes about 75% of antibodies
- _______ small % of antibodies and involved in allergy
- _______ formed during primary response
- _______ principal antibody in the secretions
IgG;

Mechanisms of action of antibodies
- _____ on invader
- Activation of ______
Direct attack; complement systems
Complement systems consists of series of proteins interacting with another
_______ are soluble proteins and glycoproteins produced by hepatocyte and its inactive form is ______
Complement system; compelment; zymogens
_____ pathway is complement sctivation that is initiated by antigen-antibody reax
Antibody + antigen reactive site in constant portion is activated
Classical
Effects of classical pathway
- Opsonization & phagocytosis = ______ activates phagocytosis by both neutrophils and macrophages
- Lysis = ______ direct effect of rupturing cell membranes
- ________ = change the sruface of invading orgsnimsm adhere to one another
- Neutralization
- Chemotaxis = fragment ____ initiates chemotaxis
- Activation of mast cells / basophils = activate mast cells & basophils
- Inflammatory effects
