Functions of Antibodies
This text provides an overview of the critical functions of antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins, in the immune response. Antibodies are a class of proteins that play a vital role in protecting the body from infection and disease. They are produced by B-lymphocytes and can bind specifically to a wide variety of antigens. Antibodies are…

Antigen-Antibody Reaction
The text above provides an overview of antigen-antibody reactions, which play a crucial role in the immune response. It explains the specific binding of an antigen to an antibody through non-covalent bonds and the diversity of antibodies generated by the immune system. The mechanisms of action resulting from antigen-antibody reactions are also discussed, including neutralization,…

Humoral Immune Response
The humoral immune response, also known as antibody-mediated immunity, is one of the two branches of the adaptive immune response. It involves the production of antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins (Ig), by B cells in response to an antigen. The purpose of the humoral immune response is to neutralize and remove antigens from the body.…
