Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Antibodies bind to antigens, which are foreign molecules that enter the body. This binding triggers a response from the immune system, such as the activation of other immune cells or the marking of the antigen for destruction. Antibodies do not work against bacteria or viruses that reproduce inside body cells, nor do they activate helper T cells or produce killer T cells (these functions are performed by other immune cells).
