Join Nagwa Classes

Attend live Biology sessions on Nagwa Classes to learn more about this topic from an expert teacher!

In this lesson, we will learn how to distinguish between an antigen and an antibody and describe the structure and function of antibodies in the immune response.

Lesson Plan

Students will be able to

distinguish between an antigen and an antibody,
describe the chemical structure of an antibody (immunoglobulin) protein,
describe different mechanisms of how antibodies limit the effects of pathogens or toxins by opsonization, neutralization, agglutination, precipitation, lysis, and antitoxin action.
