ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Antibodies are protective proteins produced by your immune system. They attach to antigens (foreign substances)-such as bacteria, fungi, viruses and toxins-and remove them from your body.

Detailed explanation-2: -To destroy the viruses, fungi, or bacteria, the immune system creates antibodies that are specific for each antigen. The first time a person is exposed to a type of bacteria, fungus, or virus, the immune system makes antibodies to that specific organism.

Detailed explanation-3: -Each pathogen has a unique antigen that binds to special receptors in the host’s body. This antigen is regarded as a threat by the immune system, and it starts producing antibodies in response.

Detailed explanation-4: -Antibodies gain the ability to identify a diverse range of antigens by genetic recombination of different elements of its structure and while the affinity for a specific antigen derives from affinity maturation and somatic recombination processes.
