Detailed explanation-1: -Expert-Verified Answer. Answer: The proteins that are produced in response to an antigen are called antibodies. It is a Y-shaped protein produced by white blood cells called B lymphocytes (or B cells) that the immune system uses to recognize and destroy foreign substances or pathogens, called antigens.
Detailed explanation-2: -Facilitation of phagocytosis is calledopsonization, and IgG and C3b, in this role, are calledopsonins. As an opsonin, IgG expands the repertoire of the immune system by enabling phagocytes to recognize pathogens, such as viruses, that do not express any PAMPs.
Detailed explanation-3: -Which statements describe functions of antibodies? Select two options. They protect the body from infectious agents. They signal the immune system to destroy pathogens.
