An antigen is any substance that causes your immune system to produce antibodies against it. An antigen may be a foreign substance from the environment. If you get a vaccine for rubella, the antibody formed will not act against mumps (another virus).
Generally there are two antibodies used. Primary antibody which can bind specifically to the protein of interest. And a secondary antibody coupled with a detection system such as HRP that would bind the primary antibody and signals the presence of protein of interest.
An antibody is a highly specific protein that attaches itself to a foreign substance.
An active antibody is a Y-shaped protein molecule that is produced by the immune system in response to the presence of a foreign substance (antigen) in the body. The two arms of the Y-shaped antibody can bind to specific antigens, marking them for destruction by other immune system cells.
They are Proteins =)
Genes provide the instructions for building antibodies through a process called gene expression. Specialized immune cells called B cells undergo a complex process of gene rearrangement and mutation to generate a diverse array of antibodies that can recognize specific pathogens. This genetic information is then used by the cell to produce the corresponding antibody protein.

antibody
No, it is not. Antibody = A protein that fights infection.
antibody
Yes. An antigen is a substance that stimulates an animal in order to produce an antibody reaction to counteract the substance by a specific binding antibody-antigen. Most of the times this antigen is a molecule of protein.
immunoglobulins
Antibody
Yes, an antibody is a type of protein that is produced by the immune system to help fight off infections and diseases.
Specific proetins can be detected by its specific mono clonal antibody. Primary antibodies specifically binds to the proetins on the membrane. Secondary antibody interact with primary antibody and signals its presence by chemiluminescence.
YES
Antibody - produced by B lymphocytes.
