IMMUNOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -What are antibodies? 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: -The acquired immune system, with help from the innate system, makes special proteins (called antibodies) to protect your body from a specific invader.

Detailed explanation-3: -B lymphocytes are triggered to make antibodies (also called immunoglobulins). These proteins lock onto specific antigens. After they’re made, antibodies usually stay in our bodies in case we have to fight the same germ again.

Detailed explanation-4: -B lymphocytes become cells that produce antibodies. Antibodies attach to a specific antigen and make it easier for the immune cells to destroy the antigen. T lymphocytes attack antigens directly and help control the immune response.
