Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Antibodies are proteins that protect you when an unwanted substance enters your body. Produced by your immune system, antibodies bind to these unwanted substances in order to eliminate them from your system. Another word for antibody is immunoglobulin.

Detailed explanation-2: -Immunoglobulins, also known as antibodies, are glycoprotein molecules produced by plasma cells (white blood cells). They act as a critical part of the immune response by specifically recognizing and binding to particular antigens, such as bacteria or viruses, and aiding in their destruction.

Detailed explanation-3: -Immunoglobulins, or antibodies, are Y-shaped proteins made by specialized cells of the immune system called B cells and plasma cells. The immune system makes antibodies that are specific for each disease-causing agent and can learn to make specific antibodies to a new virus.

Detailed explanation-4: -Immunoglobulins are also called antibodies. Antibodies are proteins that your immune system makes to fight germs, such as viruses and bacteria. When you’re exposed to germs, your body makes unique antibodies that are specifically designed to destroy only those germs.

Detailed explanation-5: -(AN-tee-BAH-dee) A protein made by plasma cells (a type of white blood cell) in response to an antigen (a substance that causes the body to make a specific immune response). Each antibody can bind to only one specific antigen. The purpose of this binding is to help destroy the antigen.
