Question

Different between antibodies and antiseptic?

Answer 1

Hello,
an antibody is a protein made by the bodys immune system classed as an immunoglobulin - the purpose of which is to provide immunity to certain microbes(mainly bacteria and viruses) that invade the body in the way of infection. The antibodies are made by a type of white blood cell caused a plasma cell. The antigen is a MARKER or point of recognition on the actual cell of an invading virus or bacteria. You should think of the antigen and antibody as a lock and key- they both need to fit each other to initiate an immune response. An antiseptic is a substance usually In liquid form that is used to prevent infection by microbes- usually it applied at a point of trauma on the skin, or other external bodily tissues that are capable of becoming infected- An antiseptic must be distinguished from an antibiotic in the sense that an antiseptic PREVENTS infection whereas an antibiotic actually fights of an infection that has already occurred.

Answer 2

Antibodies are globular protiens  occuring naturally or produced in response to an antigen .were as antiseptics are mild chemicals applied on the body to prevent the growth of microorganisms.
