Prostanoids includes Prostaglandins and ---------
Prostaglandins and thromboxane A2 (TXA2), collectively termed prostanoids
Which is the major prostaglandin produced by mast cells?
Prostaglandin D2
Which is the primary mediator of vasodilation in "niacin flush"?
Primary mediator of vasodilation in "niacin flush" - Prostaglandin D2
Which is the largest immunoglobulin?
IgM is the largest antibody and the first one to be synthesized in response to an antigen or microbe, accounting for 5% of all immunoglobulins present in the blood. IgM typically exists as polymers of identical subunits, with a pentameric form as the prevalent one.
Which immunoglobulin is an important part of the immune response against infection by certain parasitic worms?
IgE
Which is the smallest immunoglobulin?
IgG
Which is the least common Immunoglobulin?
IgE:
IgE is the least prevalent one, with a serum concentration 10,000 times lower than IgG.
Binding of IgE to human Mast cells and Basophils is called as -
Binding of IgE to human mast cells and basophils - Called sensitization
Sensitization - Prepares these cells for subsequent antigen specific activation.
Which is the most common Immunoglobulin?
IgG
In the process of binding of IgE to human mast cells and basophils which of the following is mainly responsible?
The α chain is responsible for IgE binding, and the β and γ chains provide for signal transduction
