Introduction:

Antibodies are the molecules, which are released by the plasma cells (a differentiated form of the B cells) and generate the humoral response in the individual. The antibodies are specific for the antigen molecules. The interaction between the epitope of the antigens and paratope of the antibody results in the generation of the immune response by the antibodies.
