Antibodies:

Antibodies, also called immunoglobulins (Ig), are crucial components of the acquired immune system. They are produced by B cells in response to encountering antigens, which are typically proteins or other foreign molecules on the surface of pathogens. Antibodies have a remarkable ability to bind specifically to these antigens, neutralizing them and marking them for destruction by other immune cells. This process helps the immune system eliminate pathogens and clear infections.
