[PDF] 5 functions of antibodies

Following are some of the key functions of antibody:
  • Binds to pathogens.
  • Activates the immune system in case of bacterial pathogens.
  • Directly attacks viral pathogens.
  • Assists in phagocytosis.
  • Antibody provides long-term protection against pathogens because it persists for years after the presence of the antigen.

  • What are the major functions of antibodies?

    Antibodies are your immune system's way of protecting you from infections, allergens and toxins. Your body produces these proteins naturally. Sometimes, lab-made monoclonal antibodies are used to treat certain health problems, such as cancer, heart disease, rheumatoid arthritis and more.5 jui. 2022
  • There are five immunoglobulin classes (isotypes) of antibody molecules found in serum: IgG, IgM, IgA, IgE, and IgD. They are distinguished by the type of heavy chain they contain. IgG molecules possess heavy chains known as ?-chains; IgMs have ?-chains; IgAs have ?-chains; IgEs have ?-chains; and IgDs have ?-chains.
