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: -Antibodies attach to an antigen and attract cells that will engulf and destroy the pathogen.
Detailed explanation-3: -IgM immunoglobulins are produced by plasma cells as part of the body’s adaptive humoral immune response against a foreign pathogen.
Detailed explanation-4: -An antibody (formally called immunoglobulin) is a large Y-shaped glycoprotein produced by B-cells and used by the immune system to identify and neutralize pathogens. Antibodies are produced by B cells, and are either secreted into circulation or remain expressed on the surface of the B cell.
