Antibodies, known generally as immunoglobulins, are made and secreted by B lymphocytes in response to stimulation by antigens. An antibody is specific to an antigen.

(Ab)    An antibody is a specialized protein of the immune system that identifies and neutralizes foreign substances in the body such as bacteria, fungi, viruses, or even toxins.  This large Y-shaped protein is produced by B cells. It contains a variable region that adapts to each foreign substance to help the body to direct the appropriate downstr [..]

An antibody, also called immunoglobulin, is a protein produced by the body’s immune system in response to the detection of the presence of a perceived foreign substance. This substance, called antigen, can be a bacterium, a parasite, or even molecules like proteins. The antibodies recognise antigens and latch onto them in order to remove them from [..]
