quiz 3.2 immuno Flashcards
contact bet B cells and antigen causes B cells to develop
AFC antigen-forming cells aka plasma cells
secretes anibodies in sginificant quantities
plasma cells
antibodies make up ___ of all plasma proteins
20%
what fraction of serum under ung immunoglobulins
gamma globulins
basic immuno molecules is composed of
2 light chains and 2 heavy chains
the chains in a immunoglob are held togethere by
disulfide bonds
2 types of L chain
kappa
lambda
the protion that binds the antigen is
variable regions of both chains
immunoglob are folded into compcat repeating segemnts called
domains
the L chain is made up of
1 variable and 1 constant domain
the H chain is made up of
1 variable and 3 or more constant domain
VL segment has how many hypervars
3
Vh has how many hypervars
3-4
the hypervariable regions pero variable segments are called
complementary-determining regions (CDRs)
hinge region is found where
between CH1 and 2
hinge region confers __ to the molecule and allows the arms of the Y-molecule to move independently
flexibility
the carboydrate moietu of immunoglobs are attached to
heavy chains
glycosylation is usually associated with
Fc domain
in IgG molecules, there is an N-linked glycosylation site located at _____ on each of the two CH2 domain
Asn 297
the glycans interact with _____ on the Fc domain that stabilizes the immunoglob
hydrophobic pocket
fragment that binds to the antigen
Fab
the complement fixing fragment
Fc
this fragment binds the macrophasges and other cells
Fc
there are 2 binding sites in the immuno therefore it is called
divalent
