The antigen-binding sites of an antibody molecule are formed from the molecule's variable regions. Why are these regions described as variable?
1. | They can change their shapes to fit different antigens. |
2. | They change their shapes when they bind to an antigen. |
3. | Their specific shapes are unimportant. |
4. | The amino acid sequences of these regions vary widely among antibodies from different B cells. |
