APPLIED RADIOLOGICAL ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -A neutralizing antibody (NAb) is an antibody that is responsible for defending cells from pathogens, which are organisms that cause disease. They are produced naturally by the body as part of its immune response, and their production is triggered by both infections and vaccinations against infections.

Detailed explanation-2: -During an infection, your B cells are “learning” to recognize pathogens. In response, they can produce different types of antibodies: neutralizing and non-neutralizing antibodies. Neutralizing antibodies block invaders by stopping them from spreading.

Detailed explanation-3: -Antibodies are produced by B cells (specialized white blood cells). When an antigen comes into contact with a B cell, it causes the B cell to divide and clone. These cloned B cells-or plasma cells-release millions of antibodies into your bloodstream and lymph system.

Detailed explanation-4: -Once B-cells are activated, they become plasma cells that produce antibodies in response to an antigen. Or they become memory cells that remember the antigen so your immune system can quickly identify and fight it in the future.
