16–22 µm.<br />

Monocyte.<br />

for easy interaction with an adjacent identical epitope.<br />

Interaction of this type represents high affinity of binding,<br />

which lends a stability to the antigen–antibody complex.<br />

The combination of one IgM molecule to multiple epitopes<br />

on a single molecule of antigen would represent monogamous<br />

multivalency.<br />

monogamous multivalency<br />

Refer to monogamous bivalency.<br />

monokine<br />

A cytokine produced by monocytes. Any one of a group<br />

of biologically active factors secreted by monocytes and<br />

macrophages that have a regulatory effect on the functions<br />

of other cells such as lymphocytes. Examples include<br />

interleukin-1 (IL1) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF).<br />

monomers<br />

(1) Subunits of an immunoglobulin molecule; two heavy<br />

and two light chains that comprise the four polypeptide<br />

chains of a typical IgG molecule. (2) Also used to refer<br />

to a basic four-chain monomer or monomeric unit of an<br />

immunoglobulin molecule. In contrast to one monomeric
