Antibodies, artwork C013 / 4683
Antibodies. Computer artwork of antibody, or immunoglobulin, molecules. The y-shaped molecules have two arms that can bind to specific antigens, for instance viral or bacterial proteins. In doing this they mark the antigen for destruction by phagocytes, white blood cells that ingest and destroy foreign bodies. Antibodies can also kill some pathogens directly and can neutralise toxins

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of antibodies, also known as immunoglobulin molecules. The computer artwork depicts these y-shaped structures with two arms that possess the remarkable ability to bind to specific antigens such as viral or bacterial proteins. By doing so, they play a crucial role in marking these harmful invaders for destruction by phagocytes - white blood cells that engulf and eliminate foreign substances within our bodies. The complexity of this molecular illustration highlights the incredible sophistication of our immune system. Antibodies not only facilitate the targeting and elimination of pathogens but can also directly kill certain disease-causing agents while neutralizing toxins. In this visually stunning image, we witness the elegance and precision with which antibodies interact with their targets on a cellular level. The monomeric gamma globulin structure is beautifully depicted, emphasizing its significance in providing immunity against various threats to our well-being. Created by Animated Healthcare Ltd for Science Photo Library, this artwork offers us a glimpse into the fascinating world of biochemistry and immunology. It serves as a reminder of how intricately designed our biological systems are, constantly working behind the scenes to protect us from harm.
