- •Effects of antibodies binding to their ADs. (formation of antigen-antibody
- complexes)
–complement activation (classical pathway)
- –opsonization (Fc region binds to
- phagocytes)
- –agglutination (inactivation &/or increased
- efficiency of phagocytosis)
–neutralization (toxins, viruses)
–antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity
