Antibody Response

Antibody response is the way your immune system defends against pathogens like viruses or bacteria. When your body detects an invader, it produces specialized proteins called antibodies. These antibodies recognize specific parts of the pathogen, attach to them, and help neutralize or mark them for destruction. The antibody response can develop quickly after exposure and may improve over time, providing immunity. This process is essential for protecting you from ongoing or future infections and is a key aspect of how vaccines work to strengthen your immune defense.
