Detailed explanation-1: -The antibodies destroy the antigen (pathogen) which is then engulfed and digested by macrophages.
Detailed explanation-2: -Macrophages detect pathogenic microorganisms by expressing pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), which interact with conserved microbe-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs).
Detailed explanation-3: -The secreted antibodies bind to antigens on the surface of pathogens, flagging them for destruction through complement activation, opsonin promotion of phagocytosis and pathogen elimination by immune effector cells.
Detailed explanation-4: -Agglutination describes how pathogens carrying antigen–antibody complexes clump together. Forming clumps prevents the pathogens from spreading through the body so easily. This also makes it easier for phagocytes to engulf several pathogens at once.
