All of the following forces are involved in antigen antibody reaction, EXCEPT:
Answer is D (Covalent bond) : The combination between antigen and antibody is effected during the primary stage of an Ag-Ab reaction. This reaction is essentially reversible and effected by the weaker intermolecular forces such as: Vander Waal's, Hydrogen bonds, Ionic bonds and not by the firmer covalent bonds.
