1) Make a powerpoint presentation that will describe, enumerate and compare the functions of the different types of antibodies. 2. Give an example of a mind map of the human body"s "Immune system".

 describe, enumerate and compare the functions of the different types of antibodies

An antibody is a protein produced by the body's immune system when it detects harmful substances, called antigens.

role of antigen

Antibodies are secreted into the blood and mucosa, where they bind to and inactivate foreign substances such as pathogens and toxins (neutralization).

 Antibodies activate the complement system to destroy bacterial cells by lysis (punching holes in the cell wall)

types of antibodies

Human antibodies are classified into five isotypes (IgM, IgD, IgG, IgA, and IgE)

what antibodies does in the body

Antibodies are Y-shaped proteins that bind to the body's foreign invaders and signal the immune system to get to work. Antibodies are specialized, Y-shaped proteins that bind like a lock-and-key to the body's foreign invaders — whether they are viruses, bacteria, fungi or parasites

structure of antibodies

Antibodies are heavy (~150 kDa) globular plasma proteins. The basic structure of all antibodies are same.

There are four polypeptide chains: two identical heavy chains and two identical light chains connected by disulfide bonds. 

Light Chain (L) consists polypeptides of about 22,000 Da and Heavy Chain (H) consists larger polypeptides of around 50,000 Da or more.

There are five types of Ig heavy chain (in mammal) denoted by the Greek letters: α, δ, ε, γ, and μ. 

There are two types of Ig light chain (in mammal), which are called lambda (λ) and kappa (κ).

An antibody is made up of a variable region and a constant region, and the region that changes to various structures depending on differences in antigens is called the variable region, and the region that has a constant structure is called the constant region

road map of human's immune system

Antibodies are Y-shaped proteins that bind to the body's foreign invaders and signal the immune system to get to work.

 Antibodies are specialized, Y-shaped proteins that bind like a lock-and-key to the body's foreign invaders — whether they are viruses, bacteria, fungi or parasites he immune system is made up of special organs, cells and chemicals that fight infection (microbes).

The main parts of the immune system are: white blood cells, antibodies, the complement system, the lymphatic system, the spleen, the thymus, and the bone marrow.

Your immune system can also be weakened by smoking, alcohol, and poor nutrition. AIDS. HIV, which causes AIDS, is an acquired viral infection that destroys important white blood cells and weakens the immune system. People with HIV/AIDS become seriously ill with infections that most people can fight off
