The binding of antibodies to the antigens to produce a large insoluble complex is known as

  • A
    antibody-antigen complex
  • Correct answer
    B
    agglutination
  • C
    immunisation
  • D
    suppressor cell reaction.

Solution

Binding of antibodies to the antigens produces a large insoluble complex known as agglutination. It is a specific reaction, i.e., a particular antigen will only clump in the presence of its specific antibody. Each antibody has two antigen binding sites. It combines with two antigens, causing them to agglutinate.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
