2 light on the outside of the antibody
2 heavy which are on the inside of the antibody
2
New cards
antigen-antibody complexes
formed when they bind to antigens
3
New cards
binding site
has a specific tertiary structure making antibody complementary to a specific antigen
4
New cards
agglutination
antibody binds to two pathogens at once clumping pathogens together for phagocytes to engulf
5
New cards
constant region
region which is the same for all antibodies
6
New cards
