Poem of Antibodies and Immunoglobulins
The way your body fights off bad things
Your body is overpopulated with them, like Beijing
Your line of defense is not to shoddy
With proteins like immunoglobulin and antibodies
The differences between these two are very clear
People mix them up, that is bad I fear
Antibodies are a fighting protein
And immunoglobulins are a type of these that are seen
Immunoglobulins bind to a specific antigen
This prevents any sort of mistake again
This is the primary structure of an antibody
To make sure the immunoglobulin binds to the right antigen body
There are five different classes of immunoglobulins:
These made up of monomers, which sometimes form carbon
With forms IgM, G, A, D, E
Getting confused with these are very easy
But all of these serve the same purpose
To help fight of viruses that try to hurt us
Some think the study of how these form is lame
But these help us survive, just the same
Immunoglobulins are made up of B lymphocytes
They are white blood cells, what a delight!
Unspecialized B lymphocyte cells
Are genetically pieced together, that’s swell!
This process helps the lymphocyte
Fight against viruses with all their might
By creating many new kinds of antibody molecules
These defend your body, like a tool
As described this process seems easy
But in reality its complex, but this poem is cheesy
Antibodies and Immunoglobulins
Protect your body again and again
