Abstract

Antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins, are integral components of the immune system, playing a pivotal role in defending the body against pathogens and contributing to therapeutic breakthroughs in medicine. This abstract provides a succinct overview of antibodies, encompassing their structure, functions in immunity, and diverse applications in diagnostics and therapeutics. The intricacies of antigen recognition, effector functions, and the classes of antibodies, along with their pivotal role in vaccines and monoclonal antibody therapies, are explored. As guardians of immunity and therapeutic marvels, antibodies continue to shape our understanding of the immune system and revolutionize medical treatments
