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: -Immunoglobulins are heterodimeric proteins composed of two heavy (H) and two light (L) chains. They can be separated functionally into variable (V) domains that binds antigens and constant (C) domains that specify effector functions such as activation of complement or binding to Fc receptors.
Detailed explanation-3: -Antibodies (immunoglobulins) are y-shaped proteins that are produced and released when the body detects an antigen. Antibodies are produced by specialized white blood cells called B lymphocytes (B cells) and adhere to antigens that they are specifically made to destroy.
