Antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins, play a crucial role in the immune system by recognizing and neutralizing antigens. The interaction between antibodies and antigens involves five main mechanisms:
1. Neutralization: Antibodies can neutralize antigens by binding to them and preventing their ability to infect or harm host cells. This occurs when antibodies mask the functional sites of toxins or viruses, rendering them harmless.
2. Opsonization: Antibodies can enhance the phagocytosis of pathogens by marking them for destruction. When antibodies bind to antigens, they create a tag
