How much higher is the avidity of IgM compared to IgG assuming that both isotypes have the same affinity?
A)2-fold
B)5-fold
C)IgG had the same avidity as IgM
D)10-fold

The avidity of 1g M compared to 1g G assuming both isotopes have same affinity is ; ( B ) 5-fold.

The Avidity is the overall measure of strength of the connections between antibody and antigen and it is dependent on the affinity of the bond ( single ) between an antibody and antigen and the antigen binding sites.

Given that 1gM and 1gG both have the same affinity therefore to determine the ratio in the avidity of both isotypes is dependent on the number of antigen binding sites present in each isotype.

1gG = Bivalent ( 2 sites )

1gM = decavalent ( 10 sites )

∴ The avidity of 1gM compared to 1gG = 10 sites / 2 sites = 5 -folds .

Hence we can conclude that The avidity of 1g M compared to 1g G assuming both isotopes have same affinity is ; ( B ) 5-fold .

the framers of the constitution insisted that federal judges be nominated instead of elected due to their desire to have judges above the shifting whims of the masses.

the hope, whether achieved or not, was that federal judges would only be beholden to the law and that by not having judges be elected, they would be protected if that law dictated an outcome that ran counter to popular opinion.
