Which of the following statements concerning the chemical structure of an antibody is incorrect? Antibodies have two short peptide chains known as light chains. Antibodies are formed of four polypeptide chains. The constant region of each immunoglobulin chain forms the antigen binding site. Antibodies have two long peptide chains known as heavy chains. Each peptide has a variable domain and a constant domain. Alpha and beta interferons are are cytokines that act directly as anti-viral proteins are cytokines that act directly as anti-bacterial proteins are cytokines produced in response to viral infections that cause uninfected neighboring cells to produce anti-viral proteins are cytokines that interfere with infection from most pathogens. are cytokines produced in response to bacterial infections that cause uninfected neighboring cells to produce anti-bacterial p

Antibodies, or immunoglobulins (Igs), are proteins produced by the immune systems of vertebrates to recognize foreign substances, such as viruses and bacteria. An antigen is a foreign substance that elicits an immune response. B cells, a type of lymphocyte, produce antibodies in mammals. Antibodies are proteins composed of two heavy polypeptide chains and two light chains.

Which of the following statements regarding Immunoglobulins is FALSE? The constant regions determine the "class" of the antibody. Immunoglobulin G consists of four polypeptide chains and has secondary and tertiary protein structure. Polypeptide chains in immunoglobulins are held together by disulfide bonds. The two antigen-binding sites on an immunoglobulin allow binding to two different epitopes on antigens. The variable region determines the shape of the antigen-binding site.
