Explanation:
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: -Antigens are usually proteins or sugars (polysaccharides) found on the outside of things like cells or viruses. Each has a unique shape that your immune system reads like a nametag to know whether it belongs in your body.
