Dictionary » A » Antigen-antibody complex Antigen-antibody complexAntigen-antibody complex The complex formed by the binding of antigen and antibody molecules. The deposition of large antigen-antibody complexes leading to tissue damage causes immune complex diseases. If the antigen is polyvalent the complex may be insoluble. immune complexes activate complement through the classical pathway. See: glomerulonephritis, arthus reaction, type III hypersensitivity. ![]()
