It is the number of antigens one antibody molecule can bind to. For example, a trivalent antibody can simultaneously bind to three copies of the antigen it recognizes.

This is not related to atomic valence.

Antibody valence refers to the number of antigen-binding sites on an antibody molecule, which is typically two binding sites on a single antibody unit. This property allows antibodies to bind to multiple antigen molecules simultaneously, enhancing their ability to neutralize pathogens and trigger immune responses.
