Please select the INCORRECT statement regarding the outcomes of antigen-antibody binding. a. Cross-linking - one antibody binds two antigens, so phagocytosis is more efficient. b. Opsonization - antibodies bind to the antigen, making phagocytosis easier for phagocytes (which have Fc receptors) c. Immobilization - antibodies bind to flagella, inhibiting a microbe's ability to move. d. Neutralization - antibodies bind to a toxin or a virus so that it can no longer enter a cell. e. ADCC - antibodies bind to a helminth and a neutrophil then engulfs the antibody-coated helminth.

What statement about antibodies is FALSE? A. Antibodies are composed of 2 heavy chains and 2 light chains. B. Disulfide bonds link the heavy and light chains together. C. An F(ab')2 fragment would elute before an Fab fragment (aka - have a shorter retention time) on a size exclusion column. D. A monomeric antibody can bind to only one antigenic determinant at a time. E. The hinge region of antibodies improves the efficiency of antigen binding.
