Each antibody binds to a specific antigen; an interaction similar to a lock and key. An antibody (Ab), also known as an immunoglobulin (Ig), is a large, Y-shaped protein produced mainly by plasma cells that is used by the immune system to identify and neutralize pathogens such as bacteria and viruses.
An antigen is a substance that enters the body and stimulates the production of an antibody to fight what the immune system perceives as an invader. Antigens can be toxins, bacteria, foreign blood cells and the cells of transplanted organs.
