Why does the body need to produce many different kinds of antibodies?

By definition, antibodies act against particles, proteins, microbes, and viruses. Each antibody has to be a "match" or a "fit" to work against what it is working on. So if you have had chicken pox, you made antibodies to act against it and inactivate it. If you are exposed again, you will not get it. If you get a blood transfusion it must match or your antibodies will inactive it and will cause a reaction that will hurt you. Think of all the things you have come across: different pollen from different plants, different colds, different flu (you have to get a new shot every year as it is different), different vaccines. It just goes on and on.

What would happen to your body if you could not make antibodies?
If your body didn't produce enough antibobies you'll become somehow vulnerable to diseases or in other words your chances to get ill will increase as compare to person whose body is producing "moderate" amount of antibodies. Any increase or decrease in actual amount of antibodies production can lead to problems. For example, AIDS is actually "acquired immunity deficiency syndrome" in which body fails to produce antibodies of "acquired immunity".And if your body produce antibodies more than actual amount you can suffer from "sensitivity" or "allergy" e.g dust allergy.
