- The Y-shaped proteinaceous structures produced by immune cells to defend our body against harmful bacteria and viruses are known as immunoglobulins.
- Immunoglobulins, also known as antibodies, are crucial components of the immune system.
- They identify and neutralize pathogens such as bacteria and viruses.
- There are different classes of immunoglobulins (IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, and IgM), each playing a specific role in immune response.
Additional Information
- Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins but are not involved in directly defending the body against pathogens.
- Collagen is a structural protein found in connective tissues.
- Haemoglobin is a protein in red blood cells responsible for oxygen transport.
- Immunoglobulins are produced by B cells (a type of white blood cell) in response to specific antigens.
- The immune response involves the recognition of foreign antigens and the production of antibodies to target and neutralize them.
