In this first table we look at health insurance premiums and how they differ based upon the state you reside in. Monthly and Annual Health Insurance Rates by State (Age 21)
Each antibody consists of four polypeptides two heavy chains and two light chains joined to form a Y shaped molecule. The amino acid sequence in the tips of the Y varies greatly among different antibodies. This variable region, composed of 110-130 amino acids, give the antibody its specificity for binding antigen.The variable region includes the ends of the light and heavy chains.Treating the antibody with a protease can cleave this region, producing Fab or fragment antigen binding that include the variable ends of an antibody. Material used for the studies shown below originated from Fab.The constant region determines the mechanism used to destroy antigen.reating the antibody with a protease can cleave this region, producing Fab or fragment antigen binding that include the variable ends of an antibody.

Antibodies recognize specific antigens by identifying certain areas on the surface of the antigen known as antigenic determinants. Once the specific antigenic determinant is recognized, the antibody will bind to the determinant.The antigen is tagged as an intruder and labeled for destruction by other immune cells.he antigen-binding site is the area of the antibody that recognizes the specific antigenic determinant and binds to the antigen. Since different antibodies recognize different antigens, antigen-binding sites are different for different antibodies. This area of the molecule is known as the variable region.
