To know more about the virus, first, know the main<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.homeworkminutes.com\/blog\/what-is-the-cause-of-coronavirus-all-you-must-know\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cause of coronavirus<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. In the course of testing, there are several tests taking place, one including serological tests to make out, if the person has antibodies that can signal immunity to COVID-19. To understand the concept well, let\u2019s first understand what these antibodies, their function in our body, and the types of antibodies are.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>What are Antibodies and How Do They Work?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The antibodies are specialized immune proteins made by the immune system.\u00a0 These glycoproteins are also referred to as immunoglobulins, responsible for conducting or initiating the immune reaction. Antibodies are protein molecules produced in response to antigens, the harmful substances that come from outside the body, such as viruses or bacteria.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Antibodies are cells produced by B cells, also called B lymphocytes, found in bone marrow and lymph. Due to their Y shape, they have antibodies at the tips, which act as an active site to bind with antigens and destroy them. Now, there are five classes of antibodies with their specific functions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Five Isotopes of Antibodies<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Antibodies are also known as Immunoglobulins, found in the plasma of their blood. Here are antibodies with their main function and how they help fight against wiping off the infectious diseases.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>IgG (Immunoglobulin A)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Location:- Found in all body\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Available in the most abundant quantity in plasma 70-75%<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It detoxifies foreign substances and is highly essential to fight with COVID 19<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>IgM (Immunoglobulin M)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Location:- Found in blood and lymph fluid\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They account for around 10% in immunoglobulins<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It has a pentameric structure in which five y-shaped molecules are joined together.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>IgA (Immunoglobulin A)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Location:- Breathing and digestive passages present in saliva, tears, and blood\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">IgA is available in nasal mucus, serum, and breast milk, around 10-15%<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They form dimers that are two IgA monomers joined together.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>IgE (Immunoglobulin E)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Location:- Found in lung, skin, and mucous membranes\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These antibiotics are present in minute amounts<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They aim to protect us from parasites.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>IgD (Immunoglobulin D)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Location:- Found in the tissues present in the chest and belly<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Present in human immunoglobulin around less than 1%<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These antibodies are bound to B cells, thus do not circulate.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>How do Antibodies work in COVID-19 Treatment?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A serological test is also known as an antibody test, which detects antibodies in the blood when the body\u2019s immune system responds to an infection. Amid the outbreak of the COVID-19 virus, the serological tests are essential to fight its harmful effects. These tests can help in determining whether a person shows a positive response to COVID-19 or not. As per the WHO reports, \u201c There is no evidence that people who have recovered from COVID-19 and have antibodies protected from a second infection.\u201d So, the attack of antigens in the body, antibodies act as a protective barrier to prevent its harmful effects.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, amid the lockdown conditions too, Homework Minutes is there to provide you instant help in all other such biology topics for your assignment.
