    Antibodies are proteins produced by B cells that bind to foreign objects like antigens in order to help fight infection. They are found in blood and tissues and are used in scientific experiments and to provide passive immunity. Antibodies are highly specific and are produced individually for each antigen in order to defend the host and provide future immunity against pathogens.

    Definition Keyword: Antibodies

    Markel’s Definition Strategies: Principle of Operations, Examples, Graphics

    Brainstorm:

    What are antibodies?

    -What they do

    Fight an infection

    Binds to antigens

    -Where they are found

    Found in blood samples and other tissues

    -Uses in the scientific field

    Scientific experiments, transfer of antibodies from person to person, passive immunity

    Importance

    -Defend the host from foreign pathogens

    -Provides immunity from future infections caused by the same pathogen

    What is immunity

    Passive vs active

    History

    -Who discovered it

    -How it was discovered

    -First uses

    Specificity

    -Made individually for each antigen

    -A specific antibody can only target a single antigen

    How antibodies are produced

    -By organisms

    B Cells-secreted when foreign cells are detected

    Attract T-cells and B-Cells to target pathogen

    Production
    B cells never leave the lymphnodes

    The number of antibodies varies but when a foreign pathogen is recognized, antibody

    production is increased for a short while.
