Humoral immunity is one in which, the immune attack is mediated by macromolecules called antibodies. The foreign agents dealt by them are called antigens. The antigen –antibody reactions are highly specific. The reaction is classified into many types based on the physical properties of the antigen (soluble or insoluble) and the kind of antibody (IgG, IgM, etc) involved. When bivalent (IgG) or multivalent (IgM) antibodies binds to many antigens molecules, they are brought together in space and adhere to each other forming agglutinins. IgM is good at causing agglutination because they have more antigen binding site. Agglutination Continue reading...
