  • Antivenom against snake poison contains: a. Antigens b. Antigen-antibody complexes c. Antibodies d. Enzymes

Antivenom against snake poison contains:

a. Antigens

b. Antigen-antibody complexes

c. Antibodies

d. Enzymes

Answers (1)

The answer is the option (c) Antibodies

Antivenom contains antibodies that are specifically developed to counteract the effects of snake venom. These antibodies bind to the toxic components of the venom, neutralizing them and preventing further harm to the body.

Why the other options are incorrect:

  •  Antigens: Antigens are toxic substances or proteins that trigger the body’s immune response, but they are not part of antivenom.
  • Antigen-antibody complexes: These are formed when antibodies attach to antigens during immune reactions, but they are not the active components of antivenom.
  • Enzymes: Although snake venom contains enzymes that can damage body tissues, antivenom does not include enzymes but instead consists of antibodies to neutralize the venom’s effects.
