Antibodies
Antibody, computer artwork. An antibody, also known as an immunoglobulin, is an assembly of proteins that allows the immune system to identify and neutralise foreign objects in the body. Two heavy protein chains form a Y shape, with two shorter, light chains bonded to the short arms of the Y. At the top of each arm is an antigen binding fragment (red), which is specific to a single antigen. Antibodies bind to foreign substances to neutralise them directly (by blocking an active region), or to tag them for neutralisation by another part of the immune system

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate world of antibodies, depicted through stunning computer artwork. Antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins, are vital components of our immune system that play a crucial role in identifying and neutralizing foreign objects within our bodies. The image portrays two heavy protein chains forming a Y shape, with shorter light chains bonded to the arms of the Y. At the top of each arm lies an antigen binding fragment highlighted in vibrant red hues. These fragments possess specificity towards a single antigen, allowing antibodies to bind directly to foreign substances for neutralization or tagging them for further action by other parts of our immune system. The detailed illustration beautifully captures the complexity and elegance of these molecular structures found within our human body. It serves as a reminder of how remarkable our biological systems truly are and highlights the fascinating field of immunology. Displayed against a backdrop reminiscent of biology and anatomy studies, this print from Science Photo Library is not only visually striking but also provides valuable insights into physiological processes at a molecular level. It is an excellent addition for anyone interested in science or seeking inspiration from nature's own defense mechanisms - all without mentioning any commercial use associated with it.
