Immunoglobulin G antibody molecule F007 / 9901
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. The computer-generated model reveals the secondary structure of this essential component of our immune system. IgG is the most abundant immunoglobulin found in all body fluids, tirelessly defending against harmful invaders. The Y-shaped molecule depicted here possesses two arms that possess the remarkable ability to bind to specific antigens, such as bacterial or viral proteins. This crucial interaction marks these antigens for destruction by phagocytes, specialized white blood cells responsible for ingesting and eliminating foreign bodies. Additionally, antibodies can directly kill certain pathogens and neutralize toxins. Against a pristine white background, this image highlights the complexity and elegance of molecular biology. It represents a fusion between medicine, chemistry, and biochemistry – showcasing how scientific disciplines converge to protect our health. With its detailed depiction of heavy chains and light chains forming this vital protein structure, this artwork provides valuable insights into pharmacology and proteomics research. Its significance extends beyond commercial use; it serves as a visual testament to the wonders of our immune system's defense mechanisms. Captured by PASIEKA/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, this print offers both aesthetic appeal and educational value for anyone interested in immunology or molecular structures within the human body.
