A protein secreted by plasma cells that binds to specific antigens, also known as immunoglobulin; all antibodies share a Y-shaped structure.
Una proteína secretada por las células plasmáticas (linfocitos B diferenciados) que se une a un antígeno particular; también llamada inmunoglobulina. Todas las moléculas de [esto] tienen la misma estructura en Y y en su forma monomérica constan de dos cadenas pesadas idénticas y dos cadenas ligeras idénticas.
