Detailed explanation-1: -Antibodies. Antibodies help the body to fight microbes or the toxins (poisons) they produce. They do this by recognising substances called antigens on the surface of the microbe, or in the chemicals they produce, which mark the microbe or toxin as being foreign. The antibodies then mark these antigens for destruction.
Detailed explanation-2: -Examples of antibody functions include neutralization of infectivity, phagocytosis, antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC), and complement-mediated lysis of pathogens or of infected cells.
Detailed explanation-3: -The above briefly described the five biological functions of antibodies, which are a specific function with the antigen, activation of complement, binding of Fc receptors and transplacental and immunoregulation.
