This document discusses the structure, types, classification, and properties of antibodies. It defines antibodies as proteins produced by the immune system that bind specifically to antigens. There are five main types of antibodies in humans - IgG, IgA, IgM, IgE, and IgD - which define the antibody's role in the body. Antibodies have a specific structure and classification that allow them to be indispensable immune system assets. They are also widely used in medical treatment strategies and therapies.

3. ANTIBODY
• It is a protein produced by the immune system that is capable of
binding with high specificity to an antigen.
• Antibody was discovered in 1975 by GEORGE KOHLER and CESAR
MILSTEIN.

4. STRUCTURE OF ANTIBODY

5. TYPES OF ANTIBIOTICS
• Antibody isotypes or antibody classes,define the role of the antibody
in the body.
• There are five different antibody isotypes seen in humans:
IgG,IgA,IgM,IgE,IgD.

6. Classification of Antibody

8. Properties of Antibody
• Immunoglobulins are an indispensable asset to the immune system
and are now widely used in treatment strategies.
• Antibodies derived from a clone of cells originating from the same
parent cell are developed and used in the treatment of diseases .
• Trastuzumab is an example of a monoclonal antibody used in the
treatment regime of breast cancer.
• Antibody treatment and immune therapy are also being used in the
treatment of many other wide spread diseases such as diabetes.
