    Antibodies are…

    Also known as immunoglobulins, these proteins are made by B cells in response to antigens and are released into the blood and lymph. Antibodies can attach to foreign invaders and prompt an immune response, which results in elimination of the foreign substance. They do this by recognizing specific regions of the antigen called epitopes.
