Antibodies have the main job of flagging foreign bodies by connecting to the antigens on the pathogen surface, they do not destroy it however. They alert Macrophages (a form of phagocyte) to engulf the pathogen enclosing it into a pathogenic vacuole and lysosymes containing digestive enzymes fuse into the vacuole. This leads to the eventual immunity of a specific pathogen.

What is the Role of a variable region of an antibody molecule?
Each antibody has a variable region at the top of the arms of the Y-Shaped structure of the antibody. These variable regions each have a different sequence of amino acids and therefore a different structure. This means that only specific antigens can bind to the binding sites - only those with a complementary shape. The antigen fits into the binding site by induced fit. Once the antigen has bound to the antibody it forms a highly specific antigen-antibody complex. Therefore the role of the variable region is to produce a specific binding site for each type of antigen.
What is the antibody-producing cell that plays an important role in protecting us from infection?
plasma cells, lymphocytes and monocytes
Is glycoprotein an antigen or antibody?
Antibody
Which class of antibody accounts for the bulk of circulating antibody?
IgG antibodies account for the bulk of circulating antibodies in the blood. They are the most abundant class of antibodies and play a crucial role in providing long-term immunity.
Explain the role of memory cells in the immune system?
Memory cells divide into plasma cells that produce the right antibody.
What is a sentence using antibody?

What part of speech is antibody?

What is the largest antibody produced by the fetus?
The largest antibody produced by the fetus is Immunoglobulin M (IgM). It is the first antibody to be produced in response to an infection and plays a crucial role in the fetal immune response. IgM is typically produced by the fetus around the 20th week of gestation and is important for detecting and neutralizing pathogens. Unlike other antibody classes, IgM is pentameric in structure, allowing it to effectively bind to multiple antigens.
Is an antibody a carbohydroate?
No, it is not. Antibody = A protein that fights infection.
What is the opposite word of antibody?
Antigen is the opposite of antibody.
