Antibody — __#_ chains of Amino Acids Joined by _____ Bonds
4 chains
disulfide bonds
Antibodies are also known as ________
immunoglobulins (Ig’s)
The ___ end of an antibody has amino acids arranged in one of five constant sequences or patterns.
Fc
T or F: the Fc sequence of an IgG molecule is identical for all IgG molecules in all of us
true!!!
T or F: Fc sequence of all IgM molecules is identical in all of us, but different from that of IgG
true!!!
the ____ sequence an antibody, some aminoacids arranged in a highly variable sequence.
Fab
What are the 5 antibody classes
IgG IgM IgD IgA IgE
What antibody classes are seen as monomers only
IgG
IgE
IgD
which antibody class is seen as a pentamer and has J chain in the middle of the pentamer
IgM
what is the J chain?
The J chain is a polypeptide joined to the pentamer by disulfide bonds
which antibody class is seen as a polymer or monomer
IgA
The ________ portion of an antibody selectively binds to a particular antigenic determinant.
variable Fab
What is antibody specificity? (aka the lock and key mechanism)
An antibody coded for one antigenic determinant will bind to that determinant and no other.
Secretory _____ has a secretory Chain
IgA
Secretory IgA:
found where?
in body secretions…
predominantly those of the respiratory
and gastrointestinal tracts.
The SC chain is believed to protect the IgA molecule from __________ found in respiratory and gastrointestinal secretions
proteolysis by enzymes
IgM or IgG?
which one is seen has long term immunity/memory
IgG
IgM or IgG?
will have initial rising of antibody levels quickly (within first week or two of exposure)
IgM
IgM or IgG?
increase in this antibody is seen after exposure of an antigen for the SECOND time (after first response)
IgG
