1. Antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins, are Y-shaped blood proteins that are produced by B cells in response to antigens like bacteria, viruses, and foreign substances. 2. The structure of an antibody molecule consists of two heavy chains and two light chains connected by disulfide bonds. The arms of the Y-shape are called the Fab region, which contains the variable domains that make up the paratope - the antigen binding site. 3. The paratope binds to a specific site on the antigen called the epit
