ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Which best describes the relationship between antibodies and antigens? Immunity develops when an antigen destroys an antibody.

Detailed explanation-2: -Antigens trigger your immune system to launch an antibody response. Specific antibodies detect specific antigens. This means each antibody wages war against one target antigen. Once antibodies detect antigens, they bind and neutralize them.

Detailed explanation-3: -Which statement best describes the relationship between an antibody and an antigen? An antibody is specifically produced in response to an antigen.

Detailed explanation-4: -Because one antibody only recognizes a specific antigen, antibodies that attack cancer cells, for example, do not attack normal cells. This is called the “specificity” of an antibody toward that antigen.

Detailed explanation-5: -What is an antibody, and what happens when an antibody reacts with its specific antigen?-An antibody is a protein that destroys or inactivates a specific antigen.
