Solution

Antibodies are blood proteins produced in the body. They develop in response to antigens which are foreign particles such as disease-causing microbes.
Each antibody is specific for one antigen only. It binds with the antigen and destroys it. This is necessary for the protection of the body from diseases and maintaining a healthy life.
