Antigen binding sites are present in

  • A.Fab regions of an antibody
  • B.Fc region of an antibody
  • C.only in the light chain
  • D.only in the heavy chain

Answer: A

Correct answer: Fab regions of an antibody

Each Fab fragment carries one antigen-binding site, formed jointly by the variable domains of the heavy and light chains - so neither chain alone constitutes the site. The Fc fragment carries no antigen specificity at all; it is the part that binds Fc receptors and complement and determines what the antibody does once bound.
