Bacteria and other foreign invaders are attacked by the immune system via special proteins called antibodies. They work by binding on to corresponding sites on the pathogen called antigens. This works to neutralise the invaders by blocking its glycoproteins and marking it for destruction by macrophage white blood cells. Some larger antibodies can bind multiple pathogens together in a process called agglutination.
