Question
Chapter 52.3, Problem 1CS
Summary Introduction
To propose: A model that depicts the binding of an immunoglobulin to an antigen that has a different structure than the one shown in Figure 52.7.
Introduction: The body contains a well-defined immunity system to protect itself from harmful pathogens. The harmful pathogens that attack the body are termed as antigen. However, the body produces certain cells to protect it from the invading pathogens. These cells are termed as antibodies. The antibodies are also referred to as immunoglobulin. They play a crucial role in immunity system as they have the capability to kill the invading pathogens.

Question. If you are working in a diagnostic lab, what will be your choice among Monoclonal or Polyclonal Antibodies method for detection of specific pathogen? Give sufficient justification for selection as well as rejection of any given methods.
Question:-
Explain how the class of antibody that normally exists as a pentamer changes its conformation to reveal binding
sites for C1 upon binding antigen. Why is it important that the C1-binding sites are hidden until the antibody
binds antigen?
PRACTICE EVALUATING CLAIMS
Social media posts reveal that not everyone agrees on or accepts the important role of herd immunity,
as strongly stated in the blog post below.
The fact is that CDC works for big pharma/special interests not public safety as the CDC whistle blower
documents prove. The fact is that this is about money not public safety. The fact is that some of these
vaccines have little benefit/effectiveness and serious risks. The fact is real natural immunity and vaccine
derived immunity are not the same thing at all and our babies would be protected from many/most
infectious diseases if their mothers were allowed to have natural immunity and pass it to their babies in
breast milk, and we had true herd immunity through adults who had lifelong natural immunity. The fact
is vaccine induced immunity typically does not hold for long and often misses the target, and the
neurotoxins and foreign ingredients/DNA, etc. are causing a generation of allergic/arthritic/immune
system…
