Detailed explanation-1: -antibody, also called immunoglobulin, a protective protein produced by the immune system in response to the presence of a foreign substance, called an antigen. Antibodies recognize and latch onto antigens in order to remove them from the body.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Antibodies recognize foreign invading microorganisms by specifically binding to a pathogen’s proteins or antigens, facilitating their neutralization and destruction.
Detailed explanation-4: -By binding to specific antigens, antibodies eliminate foreign substances. When a pathogen such as a harmful bacterium or virus enters the body, the variable region of the antibody binds to the pathogen and eventually causing a variety of actions such as eliminating the pathogen.
