AN
What is the chief antibody ammunition used against antigens?
Complement
Antibodies have only one antigen binding cite T/F
False
What process causes clumping of foreign cells when the cross-linking involves cell-bound antigens?
Agglutination
What is the cross-linking reaction to the large antigen-antibody complexes that become insoluble and settle of solution?
Precipitation
What do neautalizztion, agglutination, & precipitation enhance?
Phagocytosis
Which ways are the most important?
Comp Fixation & neautralization
What does complement enhance and lead to?
Cell lysis, inflammation, phagocytosis
What ways to antibodies inactivate antigens?
Complememnt fixation, neautralization, aggulutination, & precipitation
When antibodies bind to specific sites on bacterial exotoxins or on viruses that can cause cell injury
When is complement activated?
During Innate Defenses or when it binds to antibodies attached to cellular targets
