New cards

What type of interactions are Antigen-Antibody binding types?

noncovalent

2
New cards

What is affinity?

how strongly one molecule (like an antibody) binds to one specific target (like an antigen)

3
New cards

What is avidity?

the combined strength of all the interactions when there are multiple handshakes happening at once (like between multiple antibodies and antigens)

4
New cards

True or False: IgM has greater affinity than IgG

TRUE
