anti-body bacteria cell max - Anti-Body by MichaelTaylor3D

This is the hydrophobic structure of an Anti-Body. It has been procedurally shaded for a nice organic look. Its ready right out of the box to incorporate into any scientific visualization.

This has been modeled using primarily quads and is 100% accurate to the scientific model.

An antibody, also known as an immunoglobulin, is a large Y-shaped protein used by the immune system to identify and neutralize foreign objects like bacteria and viruses. The antibody recognizes a unique part of the foreign target, termed an antigen.Each tip of the 'Y' of an antibody contains a paratope (a structure analogous to a lock) that is specific for one particular epitope (similarly analogous to a key) on an antigen, allowing these two structures to bind together with precision. Using this binding mechanism, an antibody can tag a microbe or an infected cell for attack by other parts of the immune system, or can neutralize its target directly (for example, by blocking a part of a microbe that is essential for its invasion and survival). The production of antibodies is the main function of the humoral immune system.
