Antibodies, artwork C013 / 7791
Antibodies. Computer artwork of antibody, or immunoglobulin, molecules. These 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 artwork, titled "Antibodies" depicts these remarkable Y-shaped structures that play a crucial role in our immune system's defense against pathogens. The image highlights the antibody's unique structure, with two arms capable of binding to specific antigens found on viral or bacterial proteins. By doing so, they act as markers for destruction by phagocytes - white blood cells responsible for ingesting and eliminating foreign substances from our bodies. Beyond their marking function, antibodies possess extraordinary abilities. They can directly kill certain pathogens and neutralize toxins that pose a threat to our well-being. This illustration serves as a reminder of their vital role in safeguarding our health. With its vibrant colors and meticulous detailing, this artwork offers viewers an opportunity to marvel at the complexity of molecular biology. It invites us to appreciate the elegance and sophistication inherent in the immune system's workings. Created by Animated Healthcare Ltd. , this visually stunning piece is part of Science Photo Library's collection.
