Antibody (Y-shaped) Binding an Antigenconstant region (Fc)variable regionvariable regionantigenantigen2 identical heavy chains+ 2 identical light chains

An antibody is Y-shaped, with two identical antigen-binding sites at the tips of the variable regions - each shaped to recognise one specific antigen - while the constant (Fc) region at the base is recognised by immune cells to trigger further responses.
