A protein that destroys specific antigens, it is made by B cells
Real World Example
Imagine you're at a party and someone spills a drink on the floor, creating a mess. Just like you would call over a friend with a mop to clean up that specific mess, your body uses antibodies to target and neutralize specific antigens, which are like the unwanted spills in your body. In this analogy, the spilled drink represents the antigen, while your helpful friend with the mop is akin to the antibody made by B cells, designed to clean up and eliminate that specific problem.
