what feature of antibodies results in their ability to cross link antigens?
Homework Answers
The antibodies possess two identical antigen-binding sites on the variable region of both heavy chain and light chain. These recognizes the antigenic determinants otherwise known as epitopes present on antigen. The epitopes of an antigen are made of five to eight amino acids. This interaction between antibody and antigen leads to cross linking between them due to high specificity of antibody for a specific epitope on an antigen.

Explain how the Langmuir isotherm is important for measuring the kinetics of antibodies antigens interactions if the antibodies were attached to a gold nanoparticle. I’m looking for theory explanation to help me understand. So it’s focusing on the association and dissaciation of the antibody antigen pair. Thanks.
