Summary Introduction

To sketch: The structure of an antibody.

Introduction: The body contains a well-defined immunity system to protect itself from harmful pathogens. The harmful pathogens that attack the body are termed as antigens. However, the body produces certain cells to protect it from the invading pathogens. These cells are termed as antibodies. The antibodies are also referred to as immunoglobulins. They play a crucial role in the immunity system.
