Immunoglobulin molecules having a specific amino acid sequence by virtue of which they interact only with the antigen that induced their synthesis in cells of the lymphoid series (especially plasma cells), or with an antigen closely related to it.<\/p>\n
Proteins made by the immune system to fight foreign molecules.<\/p>\n
Proteins produced by B cells to attack antigens.<\/p>\n
Substance produced by the immune system that recognize and neutralize specific invading microbes or foreign proteins (which may be introduced after an organ transplant), helping to ward off infection and disease. Also called immunoglobulins.<\/p>\n
Proteins produced by the body’s immune system as a defense mechanism against “foreign” protein contained, form example, in bacteria. Antibodies are not normally formed against proteins that are part of the body but do occur in people with autoimmune disease.<\/p>\n
Substances created by the immune system to fight antigens, which are matter the body perceives as foreign. In immunization, various vaccines are used to trigger production of antibodies, without the person actually getting and having to fight off the disease itself.<\/p>\n
Protective substances formed in the animal body in response to the introduction of an antigen, and reacting specifically with that antigen in some observable way. Antibodies are evolved by reticulo-endothelial and lymphoid cells, and carried in the gamma globulin fraction of blood serum. They exist as complement-fixing antibody, agglutinin, precipitin, lysin, opsonin, antitoxin, or virus-neutralizing antibody; a given antigen will stimulate the production of antiserum (immune serum) which will express several of these facets.<\/p>\n
Antibodies are substances in the blood which destroy or neutralise various toxins or \u2018bodies\u2019 (e.g. bacteria), known generally as antigens. The antibodies are formed, usually, as a result of the introduction into the body of the antigens to which they are antagonistic; this occurs in all infectious diseases.<\/p>\n
Special proteins that are part of the body’s protective immune system; made by white blood cells, antibodies attack bacteria, viruses, pollen grains and other foreign substances.<\/p>\n
Specialized proteins found in the blood that act like an army to ward off and destroy foreign invaders.<\/p>\n
Also known as immunoglobulins; soluble proteins produced by B ceils that circulate in the bloodstream and bind to viruses and other antigens to neutralize them.<\/p>\n
