Step-by-step explanation:

An antibody is a protein produced by the body's immune system when it detects harmful substances, called antigens. Examples of antigens include microorganisms (bacteria, fungi, parasites, and viruses) and chemicals. ... Each type of antibody is unique and defends the body against one specific type of antigen.
