Immunoglobulin G antibody molecule C015 / 6789
Immunoglobulin G antibody molecule. Computer artwork of a model of the secondary structure of immunoglobulin G (IgG). This is the most abundant immunoglobulin and is found in all body fluids. Each Y-shaped molecule has two arms (top) that can bind to specific antigens, for instance bacterial or viral 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 structure of an Immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibody molecule. Created through computer artwork, it provides a detailed model of the secondary structure of IgG, which is known to be the most abundant immunoglobulin found in all body fluids. The Y-shaped molecule depicted here exhibits two arms at its top that possess the remarkable ability to bind with specific antigens such as bacterial or viral proteins. This crucial interaction serves as a marker for destruction by phagocytes – white blood cells responsible for ingesting and eliminating foreign substances within our bodies. Immunoglobulins like IgG not only aid in marking antigens for destruction but also possess direct pathogen-killing capabilities while neutralizing toxins. Their role in our immune system is vital, acting as defenders against harmful invaders and safeguarding our overall health. In this visually stunning illustration, we are reminded of the complex beauty that lies within our biological systems. The black background enhances the focus on this incredible molecular protein, highlighting its significance in immunology and biochemistry studies. Captured by PASIEKA/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, this print offers a glimpse into the fascinating world of antibodies – powerful protectors working tirelessly behind-the-scenes to keep us safe from harm.
