So, now you have a single molecule, very large molecule, with not just two binding sites but with ten binding sites.

所以如果你体内有一个细胞,一个体积很大的细胞,细胞表面不只有两个抗原结合位点,而有十个抗原结合位点

The advantage of this is that now you have four binding sites for antigen instead of just two.

这样的好处是一个抗体上,有四个抗原结合位点而不仅仅是两个

So, these are better at binding to antigen because they have more binding sites on them.

连接抗体是对付抗原的有效方法,因为抗体表面将会有更多的抗原结合位点

They also have binding sites for antigen, but they are sort of two IgG type molecules bound together by another peptide chain.

同样IgA抗体表面也有与抗原结合位点,但它们就像两个IgG型分子,通过肽链相互连接

The IgM is really five IgG-type molecules that are linked together through disulfide bonds, such that their FC portions are all pointing in and their antibody binding portions are all pointing out.

gM是由五个IgG分子组成的,IgG分子之间通过二硫键连接,免疫球蛋白尾部的FC片段都指向内侧,而抗体的抗原结合位点都指向外侧

Well, one way to think about is they have more antigen binding sites and so they're going to be more efficient at neutralizing the pathogen on a per-molecule basis than IgG is.

可以这么考虑,因为IgM表面有更多的抗原结合位点,所以相对于IgG,IgM在分子层面上,能够更为有效地与病原体结合
