What is Antibody Structure and Classes Overview about?
Antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins, are Y-shaped proteins produced by B cells in response to antigens like bacteria and viruses. Their structure consists of two heavy chains and two light chains connected by disulfide bonds, with variable regions that bind antigens and constant regions that define the antibody class. The five major antibody classes in mammals are IgG, IgM, IgA, IgD, and IgE, which have different structures, distributions in the body, and functions in the immune response.
