Explanation
Antibodies are members of a class of proteins known as immunoglobulins. Immunoglobulins are glycoproteins in the immunoglobulin superfamily. The terms 'antibody' and 'immunoglobulin' are often used interchangeably. They are found in blood and tissue fluids, as well as in many secretions.
