Antibodies are proteins produced by the immune system that help identify and neutralize harmful pathogens like viruses and bacteria. They play a crucial role in the adaptive immune response by recognizing specific antigens on these pathogens and marking them for destruction by other immune cells. This targeted response helps the body fight off infections more effectively.
There are 5 different types of white blood cells and all produce antibodies as a function of immune response. The five types are neutrophils, esoinophils, basophils, lymphocytes, and monocytes. They all respond to different threats to our body's health.
The classical pathway is part of the adaptive immune response and is triggered by specific antibodies binding to pathogens. The alternative pathway is part of the innate immune response and is activated by the presence of foreign substances on the surface of pathogens.
After becoming immunocompetant in the bone marrow, some B-cells become memory cells while other B-cells produce plasma cells which produce antibodies. Antibodies flow throughout the bloodstream and provide humoral immunity.
Antibodies are proteins produced by the immune system in response to antigens, which are foreign substances that trigger an immune response. Antibodies bind to antigens to help neutralize or eliminate them from the body, playing a crucial role in the immune response.
A response to adapt to a situation...for example fear could create an adaptive response to "fight or flee", or could paralyze the person into inaction.

This type of reponse is the adaptive response which develops over the life span and "learns" and "remembers". This makes antibodies in response to antigens.
It is called the adaptive defense and consists of antibodies and lymphocytes, often called the humoral response.
An antigen is a substance that produces an immune response in the body, typically by binding to specific antibodies or activating immune cells. This immune response is essential for recognizing and eliminating foreign substances such as pathogens.
Pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites can respond to antibodies produced by the immune system. Antibodies work by binding to specific antigens on the surface of pathogens, marking them for destruction by other immune cells. This antibody response is a key component of the adaptive immune system's defense mechanism against infections.

adaptive immune response
Yes. Antibodies are made in response to pathogens. The antibodies are made by WBCs. These antibodies are a "match" to the pathogen. The next time the body is attacked by this pathogen, the antibody response will be much faster and a person will recover much sooner.
