Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
IgG has
A
2 antigen binding site
B
10 antigen binding sites
C
4 antigen binding sites
D
6 antigen binding sites
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In any given immunoglobulin molecule, the two heavy chains and the two light chains are identical, giving an antibody molecule two identical antigen-binding sites (see Fig. 3.1), and thus the ability to bind simultaneously to two identical structures.

Detailed explanation-2: -…is an area called the antigen-binding, or antibody-combining, site, which is formed by a portion of the heavy and light chains. Every immunoglobulin molecule has at least two of these sites, which are identical to one another.
