The Immune Response: Antibodies in Action

Siddur Sravanthi

This abstract provides a concise overview of the role of antibodies in the immune response. Antibodies, also known as immunoglobulin, are critical components of the adaptive immune system. They play a pivotal role in recognizing and neutralizing foreign invaders, such as pathogens. This article explores the multifaceted functions of antibodies, including pathogen recognition, neutralization, opsonization, and complement activation. Moreover, it delves into the remarkable ability of antibodies to create immune memory, enhancing the body's defense against recurrent infections. Antibodies have not only contributed significantly to our understanding of immunology but have also paved the way for innovative medical treatments and vaccinations. As we continue to unravel the complexities of the immune system, antibodies remain at the forefront of our efforts to combat diseases and safeguard human health.
