Solution
Antibodies are proteins in a chemical sense. They are big, Y-shaped proteins that are made by plasma cells and belong to the immunoglobulin family. They are significant immune system components. B lymphocytes, often known as B cells, are specialized white blood cells that produce antibodies. An antigen drives the B cell to divide and develop into a clone, which is a collection of identical cells, when it attaches to the B-cell surface.
