The immune system, which is made up of special cells, proteins, tissues, and organs, defends people against germs and microorganisms every day. In most cases, the immune system does a great job of keeping people healthy and preventing infections. But sometimes problems with the immune system can lead to illness and infection. The immune system is the body's defense against infectious organisms and other invaders. Through a series of steps called the immune response, the immune system attacks organisms and substances that invade body systems and cause disease. antibodies can activate a group of proteins called complement that are also part of the immune system. Complement assists in killing bacteria, viruses, or infected cells. All of these specialized cells and parts of the immune system offer the body protection against disease. This protection is called immunity.
Chemically, an antibody is a

Protein

Lipoprotein

Nucleoprotein
An antibody, also known as an immunoglobulin is a large, Y-shaped protein which is produced mainly by plasma cells and it is used by the immune system to neutralize pathogens such as pathogenic bacteria and viruses. Antibodies are secreted by B lymphocytes of the adaptive immune system, mostly by differentiated B cells called plasma cells. Hence, chemically, an antibody is a protein.
Lysis of foreign cells is mediated through
-
IgM only
-
IgA only
-
IgM and IgG
-
IgD and IgE
- Immunoglobulin M (IgM) is one of several forms of the antibody that are produced by vertebrates. IgM is the largest antibody, and it is the first antibody to appear in the response to initial exposure to an antigen. IgM can bind to complement component and activate the classical pathway, leading to opsonization of antigens and cytolysis (lysis of foreign cells).
- IgG is the most common type of antibody found in blood circulation. IgG molecules are created and released by plasma B cells. Coating of IgG on pathogen surfaces (known as opsonization) allows their recognition and ingestion by phagocytic immune cells leading to the lysis of foreign cells.
Antibodies are formed by
-
T-cells
-
Monocytes
-
Phagocytes
-
B-cells
Antibody are produced by B-lymphocytes. The plasma cell /plasma B cells/effector B cell are white blood cells that secrete large volumes of antibodies. Plasma cell originates in the bone marrow.B cell differentiate into a plasma cell that produces antibody molecules. These are transported by the blood plasma and the lymphatic system. Once these are released into the blood and lymph, these antibody molecules bind to the target antigen and initiate its neutralization or destruction.
Antibodies are complex
-
Lipoproteins
-
Steroids
-
Prostaglandins
-
Glycoproteins
Immunoglobulin also known as antibodies are glycoprotein molecules produced by plasma cells (white blood cells). They act as a critical part of the immune response by specifically recognizing and binding to particular antigens, such as bacteria or viruses and help in their destruction.The antibody immune response is highly complex and exceedingly specific. Hence, antibodies are complex glycoproteins.

Enzymatic
An antibody which belongs to the class of immunoglobulin is a large, Y-shaped protein which is produced mainly by plasma cells and it is used by the immune system to neutralize pathogens such as pathogenic bacteria and viruses. Antibodies are secreted by B lymphocytes of the adaptive immune system, mostly by differentiated B cells called plasma cells.
Immunoglobulins (antibodies) are basically
-
Lipoproteins
-
Phospholipids
-
Glycoproteins
-
Nucleoproteins
Immunoglobulins, also known as antibodies, are glycoprotein molecules produced by plasma cells (white blood cells). They act as a critical part of the immune response by specifically recognising and binding to particular antigens, such as bacteria or viruses, and aiding in their destruction. So, the correct option is 'Glycoproteins'
Protein released by the host cell in response to attack by a virus is known as

Antibody
-
Antigen
-
Interferon

Immunoglobulin
Antibodies (also called immunoglobulins) are large proteins. They are found in the blood or other body fluids of vertebrates. Antibodies are the key element in the adaptive immune system. The antibody recognizes a unique part of the foreign target called an antigen. It is used by the immune system to neutralize pathogens such as pathogenic bacteria and viruses. Antibody is produced by plasma cells. Antibodies can occur in two physical forms, a soluble form that is secreted from the cell to be free in the blood plasma, and a membrane-bound form that is attached to the surface of a B cell and is referred to as the B-cell receptor (BCR).
Allergens are
-
Infectious and increased secretion of IgE
-
Non- infectious and increased secretions of IgE
-
Infectious and increased secretion of IgG
-
Non- infectious and increased secretion of IgM
Body's defence system produces antibiotics.
-
True
-
False
- Body's defence system produces antibodies.
- Antibodies are produced when an allergen or a foreign substance enters the human body by the immune system.
- It protects the body from unwanted foreign particles which enter the body.
- So, the correct answer is 'False'.
