Q466	what antibodies are produced in large quantities	Antibody	Each antibody binds to a specific antigen ; an interaction similar to a lock and key.	00
Q466	what antibodies are produced in large quantities	Antibody	An antibody (Ab), also known as an immunoglobulin (Ig), is a large Y-shaped protein produced by B-cells that is used by the immune system to identify and neutralize foreign objects such as bacteria and viruses .	00
Q466	what antibodies are produced in large quantities	Antibody	The antibody recognizes a unique part of the foreign target, called an antigen .	00
Q466	what antibodies are produced in large quantities	Antibody	Each tip of the "Y" of an antibody contains a paratope (a structure analogous to a lock) that is specific for one particular epitope (similarly analogous to a key) on an antigen, allowing these two structures to bind together with precision.	00
Q466	what antibodies are produced in large quantities	Antibody	Using this binding mechanism, an antibody can tag a microbe or an infected cell for attack by other parts of the immune system, or can neutralize its target directly (for example, by blocking a part of a microbe that is essential for its invasion and survival).	00
Q466	what antibodies are produced in large quantities	Antibody	The production of antibodies is the main function of the humoral immune system .	00
Q466	what antibodies are produced in large quantities	Antibody	Antibodies are secreted by a type of white blood cell called a plasma cell .	00
Q466	what antibodies are produced in large quantities	Antibody	Antibodies can occur in two physical forms, a soluble form that is secreted from the cell, and a membrane -bound form that is attached to the surface of a B cell and is referred to as the B cell receptor (BCR).	00
Q466	what antibodies are produced in large quantities	Antibody	The BCR is only found on the surface of B cells and facilitates the activation of these cells and their subsequent differentiation into either antibody factories called plasma cells , or memory B cells that will survive in the body and remember that same antigen so the B cells can respond faster upon future exposure.	00
Q466	what antibodies are produced in large quantities	Antibody	In most cases, interaction of the B cell with a T helper cell is necessary to produce full activation of the B cell and, therefore, antibody generation following antigen binding.	00
Q466	what antibodies are produced in large quantities	Antibody	Soluble antibodies are released into the blood and tissue fluids, as well as many secretions to continue to survey for invading microorganisms.	00
Q466	what antibodies are produced in large quantities	Antibody	Antibodies are glycoproteins belonging to the immunoglobulin superfamily ; the terms antibody and immunoglobulin are often used interchangeably.	00
Q466	what antibodies are produced in large quantities	Antibody	Antibodies are typically made of basic structural units—each with two large heavy chains and two small light chains .	00
Q466	what antibodies are produced in large quantities	Antibody	There are several different types of antibody heavy chains, and several different kinds of antibodies, which are grouped into different isotypes based on which heavy chain they possess.	00
Q466	what antibodies are produced in large quantities	Antibody	Five different antibody isotypes are known in mammals, which perform different roles, and help direct the appropriate immune response for each different type of foreign object they encounter.	00
Q466	what antibodies are produced in large quantities	Antibody	Though the general structure of all antibodies is very similar, a small region at the tip of the protein is extremely variable, allowing millions of antibodies with slightly different tip structures, or antigen binding sites, to exist.	00
Q466	what antibodies are produced in large quantities	Antibody	This region is known as the hypervariable region.	00
Q466	what antibodies are produced in large quantities	Antibody	Each of these variants can bind to a different antigen.	00
Q466	what antibodies are produced in large quantities	Antibody	This enormous diversity of antibodies allows the immune system to recognize an equally wide variety of antigens.	00
Q466	what antibodies are produced in large quantities	Antibody	The large and diverse population of antibodies is generated by random combinations of a set of gene segments that encode different antigen binding sites (or paratopes), followed by random mutations in this area of the antibody gene, which create further diversity.	00
Q466	what antibodies are produced in large quantities	Antibody	Antibody genes also re-organize in a process called class switching that changes the base of the heavy chain to another, creating a different isotype of the antibody that retains the antigen specific variable region.	00
Q466	what antibodies are produced in large quantities	Antibody	This allows a single antibody to be used by several different parts of the immune system.	00
