Antigens and antibodies play vital but distinct roles in illness and disease. One tries to wreak havoc on our health while the other fights to protect it. Simply, antigens can make you sick, and antibodies are how your body defends itself against antigens. The function of antibodies (Abs) involves specific binding to antigens (Ags) and activation of other components of the immune system to fight pathogens. The book deals with the structure, types, and functions of antigens and antibodies.
