Perspectives of Immunoglobulin
Keywords:
Perspectives, Immunoglobulin, roleAbstract
Antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins, are vital components of the immune system that identify and neutralise infections. An overview of immunoglobulin's viewpoints within the field of immunology is provided by this overview. It highlights the different roles that immunoglobulins play in immune defence mechanisms while discussing the structure, function, and classification of immunoglobulins. In addition, the review delves into the various therapeutic roles of immunoglobulins and how they might be used to treat cancer, infectious diseases, and autoimmune disorders. Furthermore, the viability of modified immunoglobulin and monoclonal antibodies in targeted and personalised medicine is explored. Overall, this assessment highlights how critical it is to comprehend the many roles that immunoglobulin plays in maintaining immunological homeostasis and preventing illness.
