Antibody Definition:
A protein with the ability to recognize and bind to a substance, usually another protein, with great specificity. Helps the body's immune system recognize and trigger an attack on invading agents..
Molecular Biology by Robert F. Weaver
Antibody Notes:
An antibody is a large (Y shaped) protein, which has the ability to recognize and bind to another specific substance, usually another protein. Also known as immunoglobulin, an antibody is produced by plasma cells, and used by the immune system to recognize and trigger attack on pathogens, like bacteria and viruses.
