Antibodies Blocking

Blocking antibodies are proteins of the body's immune system that bind to antigens and prevent their interaction with the body's cells. They are one of the main components of the body's immune defense against infections and other pathogenic agents.

Antibodies block specific antigen receptors in tissues and cells, which prevents further transmission of the pathogenic agent. This may be caused, for example, by the transmission of a virus from one cell to another or by tissue damage. In addition, antibodies can block certain antibodies from binding to an antigen, which can also prevent the spread of pathogenic infection.

The formation of blocking antibodies occurs as follows:
