A monoclonal (antibody specific for a given epitope of an antigen) IgG antibody (M) was produced in the laboratory that binds to a surface protein ( P ) of a virus (V1) and neutralizes 100 % of V 1 . It was observed that M is also effective in neutralizing other viruses V2, V3 and V4 at 40 %,90 % and 32 % efficiency as compared to V1. If there are no other confounding factors, then the most accurate inference is
Options
- AV1, V2, V3, and V4 have identical surface protein P.
- Bthe genome of V1 and V3 has to be 90 % identical for the observed binding efficiency.
- Cthe sequence of P is more similar in V2 and V4 than in V1 and V2
- Da segment of sequence in P is highly conserved in V1 and V3 whereas the same segment is less conserved in V2 a
Correct answer
D. a segment of sequence in P is highly conserved in V1 and V3 whereas the same segment is less conserved in V2 a
