'''Antibodies''', also known as '''Immunoglobulins''' (Ig) are gamma globulin proteins, primarily found in the blood of vertebrates. These [[glycoproteins]] serve as a critical component of the immune system when the host fails to activate alternative compliment pathways or phagocytic cells in response to invading microorganisms or other [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antigen antigens]. The incredible specificity with which immunoglobulins bind to an antigen is based upon structural complementarity between the antigen and antibody <scene name='Antibody/1hzh_heavy_chains/1'>heavy </scene>and <scene name='Antibody/1hzh_light_chains/1'>light chains </scene>. It is this specificity that has made <scene name='Antibody/1hzh_starting_scene/3'>antibodies</scene> a critical component in laboratory and medical research.
