What are antibodies?

  • Antibodies also known as immunoglobulin, are the proteins that are protective in nature and are produced by the immune system.
  • Antibodies are large, Y-shaped and are attached to the antigens like bacteria, viruses, etc. and they eliminate these from the body.
  • Antibodies are produced by specialized white blood cells i.e., B-cells.
  • There are five types of antibodies -IgG, IgM, IgA, IgD, and IgE.
  • IgG is one of the most common antibody found in the blood and tissue fluids which makes around 70% - 75% of all immunoglobulins in the body.

Immunoglobulin G is the antibody that normally constitutes the highest percentage of antibodies in the blood.

What is an antibody?

  • Antibodies are proteins made by plasma cells as a result of a response to an antigen.
  • Antibodies are antigen-specific that can attach to only specific antigens to destroy them.
  • They are found mainly in the blood and other tissues and extracellular fluids.
  • Antibodies are found in the B cells of lymphocytes used to attack invading bacteria and viruses that are toxic.

What is immunoglobulin G?

  • There are 5 classes of immunoglobulins that are IgG, IgA, IgD, IgM, and IgE.
  • Immunoglobulin G represents 75% of antibody serum in a body.
  • IgG is produced by plasma B cells to fight bacteria, viruses, and toxins.
  • Each IgG has two paratopes which are antigen-binding sites. These paratopes recognize an antigen and bind to it.
  • The Y-shaped IgG has identical paratopes in each arm.
  • IgG recognizes the pathogens and causes immobilization. They also bind and neutralize toxins.
  • IgG is also involved in allergic reactions.
  • Their function includes opsonization which enables them to bind with bacterial surface facilitating their phagocytosis.
