the adaptive immunity consist of 3 areas:

IgM
the five protective mechanism of binding antibodies to antigens are:
1-agglutination
2-opsonization
3- neutralization
4- activation of complement
5- antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytoxicity
What is the five letter word for one of the "protective mechanism of binding antibodies to antigens" where the antibodies attached to the target cells causing destruction by macrophates, eosinophils and NK cells.?
Antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity

Remember: A Dog ate the Cat that ate the Mouse that ate the Cheese.
In Protective Mechanism of Binding Antibodies to Antigens: ______ reduces number of infectious units to be dealt with by clumping together.
agglutination
In Protective Mechanism of Binding Antibodies to Antigens: ______ causes inflammation then cell lysis.
activation of complement
In Protective Mechanism of Binding Antibodies to Antigens: ______ is the process of coating the antigen with antibody which enhances phagocytosis.
opsonization
In Protective Mechanism of Binding Antibodies to Antigens: ______ blocks adhesion of bacteria and viruses to mucosa and/or blocks attachment to toxins.
neutralization
