Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Immunoglobulins, also known as antibodies, are proteins produced by B cells in response to an infectious agent. They recognize and bind to specific antigens on the surface of the infectious agent, marking it for destruction by other immune cells. This is a key role in defending the body against infectious agents. Receptors, structural proteins, transport proteins, and dietary proteins do not have a primary function in defending the body against infectious agents.
