Antibodies ________.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Antibodies are immune system molecules produced by B cells that recognize and bind to specific antigens in order to mark them for destruction by other immune system cells. Therefore, they assist in destroying particular antigens. Antibodies are Y-shaped proteins, not shaped like the letter B. Each antibody recognizes and binds to a specific antigen, not any antigen, so they are not generalists. While T cells are involved in the immune response, antibodies are specifically produced by B cells, not T cells.
