Antigens and Antibodies(Medical Intervention Assignment)

Antibodies are proteins in the body used to fight off antigens. The antigens stimulate the immune system and it produces antibodies to attack the antigens.Once the immune system has created an antibody for an antigen whose attack it has survived, it continues to produce antibodies for subsequent attacks from that antigen.To fight the infections caused by the antigens the body uses B-lymphocytes.
