Textbook Question
Chapter 43, Problem 18TYK
What is the key advantage to the use of monoclonal antibodies as medicines?
- a. Because we already have antibodies in our blood these molecules are not recognized as foreign.
- b. They are specific for a single antigen, or even for a specific epitope on an antigen.
- c. Because they are produced by living cells, they are more natural and healthful than artificially synthesized drugs.
- d. They are inexpensive to produce, so they can be widely distributed.

A disorder that destroys the immune system. c. Any genetic disease. d. A complete lack of immune function. e. Immune problems that cause disease but cannot be detected.arrow_forward
- In the text, the author describes the benefits of receiving vaccines. Are there disadvantages? Why do you think some people might choose not to get vaccinated?arrow_forwardWhich of the two antibodies shown in the figure below are most likely to have the same antigen-binding specificity? Explain your reasoningarrow_forwardWhen we get sick we trust our immune system to protect us, but what happens when that system goes awry and ends up killing patients?
