Immunoglobulins, also known as antibodies, are
glycoprotein molecules produced by plasma
cells (white blood cells). They act as a critical part of the
immune response by specifically recognizing and binding to particular antigens, such as bacteria or viruses, and aiding in their destruction. The
antibody immune response is highly complex and exceedingly specific. The various immunoglobulin classes and subclasses (isotypes) differ in their biological features, structure, target specificity and distribution
