Explanation:

Antigens are molecules capable of stimulating an immune response. Each antigen has distinct surface features, or epitopes, resulting in specific responses. Antibodies (immunoglobins) are Y-shaped proteins produced by B cells of the immune system in response to exposure to antigens.

Antibodies are chemical agents released by our body to fight the antigens that enter our bosh .antigens are nothing but foreign agents that enter our body.

there are few main functions of antibodies :

1) agglutination of particulate matter including bacteria and viruses 

2) neutralization of toxins released by bacteria 

3) opsonisation or coating over bacteria.

4)Antibodies act as an immunity barrier against the pathogens.
