antibodies defending body
- antibody of complex acts as an opsonin, so complex easily engulfed/digested by phagocytes
- pathogens cant effectively invade hosts cell once part of complex
- antibodies act as agglutinins, causing pathogens carrying complexes to clump together, preventing them speading through body and easier to engulf all at same time
- antibodies can act as anti toxins, binding to toxin produced by pathogen making it harmless
