Which statements are true regarding antibody-antigen binding? The Fc fragment of an antibody may be recognized by a Natural killer cell. Toxins are inactivated via opsonization. The antigen-binding region of an antibody binds directly to an epitope. Antibodies may activate the complement system via the classical pathway.
