Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Select all of the following that pertain to an antibody.
A
produced by T cells
B
consist of two heavy and two light chains
C
have variable and constant regions
D
important in cell-mediated immunity
E
proteins that bind to specific antigens
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Antibody binding proteins such as Protein A and Protein G are often used in antibody purification and in applications such as immunoprecipitation (IP) and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP). Each antibody binding protein varies in its ability to bind to antibodies of different subtypes and species.

Detailed explanation-2: -Parts of both the heavy and light chains usually combine to form the antigen-binding sites. There are five classes of antibodies (IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, and IgM), each with a distinctive heavy chain (, , , , and , respectively).

Detailed explanation-3: -Hypervariable region: In antibodies, hypervariable regions form the antigen-binding site and are found on both light and heavy chains. They also contribute to the specificity of each antibody.
