What are the similarities between B cell receptor and antibody?
Posted November 9, 2022
Answer
B cell receptor and antibody are two types of functional immunoglobulin molecules that are associated with B cells. They are both composed of two heavy polypeptide chains and two light chains. Both are responsible for generating the humoral immune response. B cells produce both B cell receptors and antibodies in response to a specific antigen.
