1.3 define the nature of antibodies and antigens

component of antigen that can causes to stimulate the immune system is called

• affinity

• antigenicity

• elicitation

• specificity

HAPTEN can stimulate antibody production by itself

• TRUE

• FALSE

Antibody is produce by

• macrophages

• mast cells

• B-lymphocytes

• T-lymphocytes

the technology used for the production of monoclonal antibodies is

• mass culture technology

• hybridoma technology

• suspension culture

• none of these

the hybridomas are made by

• fusing B memory cells with myeloma cells

• fusing T helper cells with myeloma cells

• fusing T cells with myeloma cells

• fusing B cells with myeloma cells

the antigen binding site on an antibody is called

• epitope

• paratope

• isotope

• allotope

protein polypeptide chain gives the antigen its antigenicity

• TRUE

• FALSE

antigen can have only one 'epitope'

• TRUE

• FALSE

antibodies are

• proteins

• glycoproteins

• carbohydrate

• nucleic acid

what are monoclonal antibodies used for?
