Human antibodies, TEM

Human antibodies (yellow), coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM). The Y-shaped structures are molecules of the immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibody. Antibodies are part of the immune system, helping to defend the body against infection by binding to foreign proteins. IgG antibodies are produced by B-lymphocyte blood cells, and they are found in the liquid plasma component of the blood

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate world of human antibodies. In this false-colored transmission electron micrograph (TEM), the vibrant yellow hue highlights the Y-shaped structures known as immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies. These remarkable molecules play a crucial role in our immune system, acting as defenders against infections by binding to foreign proteins. Produced by B-lymphocyte blood cells, IgG antibodies can be found within the liquid plasma component of our blood. Their presence signifies a healthy and normal defense mechanism that aids in protecting our bodies from harmful invaders. The multiple antibody molecules depicted here demonstrate the complexity and efficiency of our immune response. Through advanced biochemistry and molecular biology techniques, this image provides us with an up-close view of these essential components within our biological system. Captured using a transmission electron microscope (TEM), it offers a glimpse into the microscopic realm where protein interactions occur. As we marvel at this visually stunning photograph, let us appreciate the incredible intricacy of our own bodies' defense mechanisms. This image serves as a reminder of how science continues to unravel the mysteries hidden within us, shedding light on fundamental aspects such as immunology and cellular biology.
