Antibodies contribute to antigen destruction by causing agglutination, which clumps bacteria, making them easier for phagocytes to engulf.
Antibodies lead to antigen destruction by causing agglutination, clumping bacteria together for easier phagocyte engulfment.
Front | How does antibody lead to destruction of antigen |
---|---|
Back | Cause agglutination of bacteria cells ( clump bacterial cells together) making it easier for the phagocyte to locate them as they are less spread out The phagocyte then engulf the clump |
