Summary Introduction

To propose: A model that depicts the binding of an immunoglobulin to an antigen that has a different structure than the one shown in Figure 52.7.

However, the body produces certain cells to protect it from the invading pathogens. These cells are termed as antibodies. The antibodies are also referred to as immunoglobulin. They play a crucial role in immunity system as they have the capability to kill the invading pathogens.
