Immunoglobulin G antibody molecule F007 / 9889
Immunoglobulin G antibody molecule. Computer 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. Set against a striking black background, this computer-generated model highlights the secondary structure of IgG, which is the most abundant immunoglobulin found in all body fluids. The Y-shaped molecule depicted here possesses two arms that have the remarkable ability to bind to specific antigens such as bacterial or viral proteins. This crucial function allows them to mark these antigens for destruction by phagocytes – white blood cells responsible for ingesting and eliminating foreign bodies from our system. Beyond their role in marking pathogens for destruction, antibodies like IgG can also directly kill certain types of harmful microorganisms and neutralize toxins. Their significance within our immune system cannot be overstated. In this visually stunning representation, every atom and chemical element has been meticulously crafted to create a molecular model that exemplifies the complexity and beauty of IgG. With its cut-out design against a dark backdrop, this artwork serves as a powerful reminder of the vital role played by antibodies in maintaining our health. This mesmerizing image not only appeals to those with an interest in medicine or biochemistry but also serves as a testament to human ingenuity in understanding and harnessing the power of our immune system's defense mechanisms.
