Detailed explanation-1: -Antibody binding also marks invading pathogens for destruction, mainly by making it easier for phagocytic cells of the innate immune system to ingest them.
Detailed explanation-2: -A unique function of antibody is to initiate the clearance of pathogens via complement activation and binding to erythrocyte complement receptor 1 (CR1); the result of such binding sequesters the pathogen from invading susceptible tissue and may facilitate the destruction of the organisms by tissue macrophages (112).
Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -1) Antibodies are secreted into the blood and mucosa, where they bind to and inactivate foreign substances such as pathogens and toxins (neutralization). 2) Antibodies activate the complement system to destroy bacterial cells by lysis (punching holes in the cell wall).
