Immunoglobulins are usually named as antibody. These are big Y-shaped protein generated by B-cells that is employed through the immune system to determine and neutralize foreign objects like viruses and bacteria. Immunoglobulins are "Y" shaped structure that is having two tips and each tip of immunoglobulins contains a paratope. Immunoglobulins are typically made of essential structural units—each with two large heavy chains and two small light chains. The common structure of all antibodies is extremely alike; a small region at the tip of the protein is very variable.
