(Coating the surface of antigen by antibodies)
24-What is the difference between monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies?
(Monoclonal means antibodies of only one specificity while polyclonal means antibodies of different specificities)
25-Hepato lenticular degeneration is observed due to deficiency of which plasma protein?
(Ceruloplasmin)
26-What is the function of complement protein ?
(These are defense molecules present in the plasma in the inactive form, required for pathogenic killing)

(Hemoconcentration, malignancies, chronic infections)
29-What is class switching?
(The switch from one class of immunoglobulin to another class is called class switching)
30-How are the light chain and heavy chains linked together?
( By disulphide linkages)
31-What is the function of carbohydrate in the structure of immunoglobulins?
( It is required for the secretion of antibodies by the plasma calls)

( Ig A)
33-Which antibody is called as the Millionaire molecule?
( Ig M )

(Transporter of B12)
41-What are Bence jone’s proteins?
These are light chain Immuno globulins excreted in the urine of a patient suffering from multiple myeloma.
42- What are the clinical features observed in a patient of multiple myeloma ?
(Weight loss, punched out lesions, anemia , increased frequency of infections)
43-What are the component chains in HbA1?
