Question

If you suspect a deficiency of antibodies in a person, to which of the following would you look for confirmatory evidence?

• A. Haemocytes
• B. Serum albumins
• C. Serum globulins
• D. Fibrinogen in the plasma

Answer 1

The correct option is C Serum globulins

Haemocytes is a cell that plays a major role in the immune system of invertebrates.

Serum albumin is a globular protein found in blood serum. It functions primarily as a carrier protein for steroids, fatty acids and thyroid hormone in the blood.

Serum globulins are immune molecules that are produced by the immune system in response to an invasion of the body of agents, that are perceived by the system as being foreign. Some globulins are also called antibodies. B lymphocytes produce antibodies in our body.

Fibrinogen is also known as the factor. It helps in clotting of blood during bleeding.

So, the correct answer is 'Serum globulins'.
