An antibody (Ab), also known as an immunoglobulin (Ig), is a large, Y-shaped protein used by the immune system to identify and neutralize foreign objects such as pathogenic bacteria and viruses. The antibody recognizes a unique molecule of the pathogen, called an antigen. Each tip of the "Y" of an antibody contains a paratope (analogous to a lock) that is specific for one particular epitope (analogous to a key) on an antigen, allowing these two structures to bind together with precision. Using this binding mechanism, an antibody can tag a microbe or an infected cell for attack by other parts of the immune system, or can neutralize it directly (for example, by blocking a part of a virus that is essential for its invasion).

To allow the immune system to recognize millions of different antigens, the antigen-binding sites at both tips of the antibody come in an equally wide variety. In contrast, the remainder of the antibody is relatively constant. It only occurs in a few variants, which define the antibody's class or isotype: IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, or IgM. The constant region at the trunk of the antibody includes sites involved in interactions with other components of the immune system. The class hence determines the function triggered by an antibody after binding to an antigen, in addition to some structural features. Antibodies from different classes also differ in where they are released in the body and at what stage of an immune response.

Together with B and T cells, antibodies are the most important part of the adaptive immune system. They occur in two forms: attached to a B cell or in soluble form in extracellular fluids such as blood plasma. Initially, antibodies are attached to the surface of a B cell – they are then referred to as B-cell receptors (BCR). After an antigen binds to a BCR, the B cell activates to proliferate and differentiate into either plasma cells, which secrete soluble antibodies with the same paratope, or memory B cells, which survive in the body to enable long-lasting immunity to the antigen. Soluble antibodies are released into the blood and tissue fluids, as well as many secretions. Because these fluids were traditionally known as humors, antibody-mediated immunity is sometimes known as, or considered a part of, humoral immunity. The soluble Y-shaped units can occur individually as monomers, or in complexes of two to five units.

Antibodies are glycoproteins belonging to the immunoglobulin superfamily. The terms antibody and immunoglobulin are often used interchangeably, though the term 'antibody' is sometimes reserved for the secreted, soluble form, i.e. excluding B-cell receptors.

It’s funny how all these years I’ve studying Medicine some people would avoid Dr Najeeb videos because “they take forever” but when I impress the Docs & Professors because I know more they then start to somewhat dislike me, People who watch Dr Najeebs lectures are those who aspire to be the best ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ much love from South Africa 🇿🇦 now doing my final year, thank you Doc Najeeb

When I'm read, I thought what is this, why it is named like this? when dr.najeeb sir teach, I thought how beautifully formed by God, how beautifully discovered by scientists, but most important thing how beautifully taught by dr.najeeb sir .simple, easily understandable, reasonable narration .during watching ur lectures, everytime I thought, he is the messenger from God for medicine profession nd for

I am from a small village called salboni, Midnapore, in West Bengal. I am studying Zoology honours affiliated to VU. I love your lectures very much. You teach very simply, who doesn't have any idea about biology he also can understand. My previous search on YouTube like' anything by anyone'. After your lecture my searches are like 'anything by najeeb sir'. Thank you for your work it really helps us so much..♥️

Even though iam a btech graduate and i am seeing your video because you are providing those information in a very interesting way and your lectures consist of those factors which a student doesn't feel any kind of stress or sleep as you are also building curiosity among students which make them listen to you.. respect you sir❤️

Wow! I think not everyone deserves to be called a teacher. only like you have to be honored so-called "excellent teacher". Thanks. you are explaining everything from the source and the student can go with you easily and easily understand the terms that usually are the nightmare of the students
