I got interested in antibodies when I was recovering from a pretty bad flu last year and kept reading about how our bodies fight off viruses. I realized I didn’t actually understand how my immune system managed to recognize and attack something as small as a virus, so I started digging into it. Turns out, antibodies are these special proteins that the body makes whenever it detects harmful substances, which are called antigens.

Antibodies are fascinating little warriors in our immune system, tirelessly working to defend us against invaders. Their ability to recognize and neutralize antigens is like a finely tuned Block Breaker game, where each move counts. I remember a time when I felt frail after a cold, and it struck me just how crucial these proteins are. This newfound knowledge about antibodies has made me appreciate my body’s defenses even more.
