Opsonization

Tags The Invader with complement proteins which will more readily clear be Invader by phagocytic cells

Type 1 reaction

Involves igE


Mast cells


And / or basophils

Type 2 reaction

IGG or IGM bind to non soluble antigens on the surface of a cell within the extracellular environment

Annealing

The steps of PCR are melting extension and blank
