Detailed explanation-1: -Another mechanism by which antibodies can response to pathogens is known as “opsonization.” By opsonization, antibodies enable phagocytes for ingesting and destroying the extracellular bacterium.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -In this manner, opsonins function as a bridge between the phagocyte and the particle to be ingested. Antibody (IgG) molecules and complement components are important opsonins that induce efficient phagocytosis, and their receptors have been studied extensively (Table 1).
