Immunoglobulin G antibody molecule F006 / 9371
Immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibody, molecular model. 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, known as F006 / 9371. As the most abundant immunoglobulin found in all body fluids, IgG plays a crucial role in our immune system's defense against pathogens. The Y-shaped molecule depicted here exhibits two arms at its top that possess the remarkable ability to bind to specific antigens such as bacterial or viral proteins. By doing so, these antibodies effectively label the antigens for destruction by phagocytes – white blood cells specialized in ingesting and eliminating foreign bodies. Notably, antibodies not only mark antigens for destruction but can also directly kill certain pathogens while neutralizing toxins. This multi-faceted functionality is beautifully represented through this molecular model artwork. With a white background emphasizing its complex structure, this illustration serves as a valuable resource for research and medicine. Its detailed portrayal provides insights into the tertiary structure of IgG antibodies, highlighting key features like alpha helices and beta sheets. Incorporating elements from biochemistry, proteomics, and immunology fields, this image represents the cutting-edge intersection between biology and healthcare. Produced by LAGUNA DESIGN/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY with meticulous attention to detail, it offers both scientific accuracy and aesthetic appeal.
