Antibodies Collection (#2)

Antibody. Molecular graphic of the electron density surface of the antibody immunoglobulin G (IgG). This Y-shaped protein is produced by B- lymphocyte white blood cells as part of an immune response

Immunoglobulin G antibody. Molecular model of the antibody immunoglobulin G (IgG). Each coloured strand represents a protein chain

White blood cells. Computer artwork of B lymphocytes, or B cells, each containing an antibody molecule. B cells mature in the bone marrow

Human rhinovirus with antibodies
Human rhinovirus (HRV) with antibody fragments, computer model. This image was created using molecular modelling software and data from cryo- electron microscopy

Lymph node, light micrograph
Lymph node. Coloured light micrograph of a section through a lymph node. A lymph node filters pathogens from lymph fluid, a watery liquid that surrounds the tissues of the body

Sketch of 3 antibodies, computer artwork. An antibody, also known as an immunoglobulin, is an assembly of proteins that allows the immune system to identify

Immunoglobulin G antibodies, TEM
Immunoglobulin G antibody molecules, coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM). IgG is the most abundant human immunoglobulin, and is found in all body fluids

Antibodies

Human antibodies, TEM
Human antibodies (yellow), coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM). The Y-shaped structures are molecules of the immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibody

Rheumatoid arthritis mechanism, artwork
Rheumatoid arthritis mechanism. Artwork showing various aspects of rheumatoid arthritis, the inflammation of the joints due to attack by the bodys own immune system

Antibodies attacking flu virus, artwork

Ehrlichs side-chain theory, artwork. Coloured 1900 diagram by the German immunologist Paul Ehrlich (1854-1915) to explain his side-chain theory of immune response

Histamine allergic reaction, diagram
Histamine allergic reaction. Diagram showing the process that leads to the release of histamine during an allergic reaction. Cells called mast cells (orange) mediate this response

Immune system, artwork
Immune system. Computer artwork showing how T-cells (right), antibodies (Y-shaped) and antigen-presenting cells (APC, left) interact during an immune response

Allergic response, artwork
Allergic response. Computer artwork showing the process that produces an allergic reaction. Antigens (blue), such as pollen

Antibodies and their antigen. Computer model showing the molecular structure of two anti-P-glycoprotein antibodies (upper left and right) and the P-glycoprotein (blue) to which they respond

Immunoglobulin crystals, light micrograph
Immunoglobulin crystals, polarised light micrograph. Immunoglobulins, or antibodies, are a type of globulin protein that are produced by B cells (a type of white blood cell)

Cytidine deaminase, molecular model
Cytidine deaminase. Computer model of the enzyme, activation-induced (cytidine) deaminase (AID). The tertiary structures of two protein complexes (purple and green)

"Unleashing the Power of Antibodies: The Guardians of our Immune System" Immunoglobulin G antibody molecule F007 / 9894, a remarkable defender against pathogens, stands tall in this captivating artwork. These they can the unsung heroes that protect us from harmful invaders. Plasma cells, captured through a TEM image, tirelessly produce Immunoglobulin G antibody molecules to combat infections and maintain our well-being. Their intricate structure enables them to recognize specific antigens and neutralize threats with precision. Edward Jenner (1749-1823), depicted in various forms - coloured engraving, oil on canvas, lithography by de Frey - pioneered vaccination using cowpox virus. His groundbreaking work laid the foundation for harnessing antibodies' potential to prevent diseases. Intriguingly diverse yet unified in purpose, Immunoglobulin G antibody molecules emerge as an army defending our bodies against foot-and-mouth disease virus F006 / 9556 and countless other pathogens. They bind to these invaders like lock and key, rendering them harmless. These extraordinary proteins play a crucial role in immunology by recognizing foreign substances and triggering immune responses. Through their unique binding abilities, they mark intruders for destruction while sparing healthy cells. As we delve into the world of antibodies, we unveil their immense importance in safeguarding human health. From Edward Jenner's pioneering efforts to cutting-edge research today, these tiny warriors continue to shape medical advancements and save lives worldwide. Let us celebrate the awe-inspiring power – nature's guardians standing strong against adversity.
