Antibodies Cells Invading Called White Blood Produced Pathogen

Antibodies are produced when white blood cells encounter foreign antigens; they attach to pathogens, marking them for destruction by other white blood cells.

Antibodies are produced when white blood cells encounter foreign antigens on pathogens; these antibodies bind to the pathogens, marking them for destruction by other white blood cells.

  • When white blood cells come across a foreign antigen, they produce proteins called antibodies
  • Antibodies lock onto the invading cells so that they can be found and destoyed by other white blood cells
