that remain on the cell surface throughout
the subsequent developmental stages of the B CELL:
CD19, CD24, and CD45R
____ is the surface protein that is found on
both activated cells and B cells and act as a
receptor for IL-2
CD25
antibodies are also known as the
Immunoglobulins
what cytokine is responsible and acting as a receptor for the surface protein that is found on both activated cells and b cells
interleukin 2
Glycoprotein found in the serum portion of the
blood.
immunoglobulins
where can we found the antibodies?
serum portion of the blood
what is the composition of the immunoglobulins.
give the percentage each composition
82-96%→polypeptides (protein)
2-14%→carbohydrates
HWO CAN WE BE ABLE TO DISTINGUISH THE BEHAVIOR OF THE IMMUNOGLOBULINS?
THROUGH ELECTROPHORESIS
materials of substances we can use for electrophoresis that is based on pH
cellulose acetate and citrate agar
what is the pH level of cellulose acetate we used for electrophoresis
alkaline - 8.6
what should be the pH level if we will use the citrate agar for electrophoresis
6 - 6.3 - acidic
In what region we can found the immunoglobulins?
gamma region (y)
since we can found the immunoglobulins in gamma region, we can call it as well as
gamma globulins
technically, what is the pH level we need for electrophoresis?
8.6
(transes based - we use agarose gel if 8.6 pH is needed)

The chains of immunoglobulin are held together by noncovalent forces
called the ____
disulfide linkage/bond
The four chain polypeptides can be connected
through ___
disulfide linkage/bond
Structure of Immunoglobulins was first describe by two scientists.
