Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The antibody binds to specific antigens. This signals the other cells of the immune system to get rid of the invading microbes. The strength of binding between the antibody and an antigen at a single binding site is known as the antibody’s affinity for the antigen.
Detailed explanation-2: -The variable domain is also referred to as the Fv region and is the most important region for binding to antigens. More specifically, variable loops (three each on the light (VL) and heavy (VH) chains) are responsible for binding to the antigen.
