Pentavalent immunoglobin is –
Question Category:
Correct Answer:
IgM
Description:
Ans. is 'c' i.e., IgiMValency of antibodyo The valency of antibody refers to the number of antigenic determinants that an individual antibody molecule can bind.o The valency of all antibodies is at least two and in some instances more.AntibodyValencyIgG2IgA2,4IgM10IgD2IgE2Though the theoretical valency of Ig M is ten, this is observed only with small haptens. With larger antigens, the effective valency falls to five, probably due to steric hindrance.
