Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The largest concentration of antibodies as well as t cells in the body should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
An antibody is also known as immunoglobulin is a protein in large y shape which is produced by plasma cells. These plasma cells are utilized by immune system of the body in order to neutralize the pathogenic bacteria. It neutralizes by recognizing the unique pathogen molecule known as antigen. Using the binding mechanism, a microbe (infected cell) is bounded by antibody so that it can attack other parts of the immune system to directly neutralize the target. The main function of the humoral immune system is the production of antibodies.
