An antibody is a blood protein produced in response to and counteracting a specific antigen.
The main function of antibody is to bind with antigens and inactivate them so that other bodily processes can take over, destroy, and remove the foreign substances from the body.
The binding of IgG antibodies with bacterial or viral antigens activates other immune cells that engulf and destroy the antigens.
IgM is present in the blood and is the largest of the antibodies ,It functions similarly to IgG in defending against antigens but cannot cross membranes because of its size.
