Summary Introduction
Introduction:
An antibody is the response generated by the body towards an antigen. These are also referred as immunoglobulins. All antibodies are glycoproteins. They protect the body from antigens or pathogens. Types of immunoglobulins (Ig) include IgG, IgM, IgA, IgE, and IgD.
