Immunoglobulins are basically proteins that function as antibodies. The terms antibody and immunoglobulin are often used interchangeably. Immunoglobulins are found in blood and other tissues and fluids. They are made by the plasma cells that are derived from the B cells of the immune system.B cells of the immune system become plasma cells when activated by the binding of a specific antigen on its antibody surfaces.hey are made by the plasma cells that are derived from the B cells of the immune system.

Antibody and antigen. Photo by: cglightNing. Antibodies, also called immunoglobulins, are proteins manufactured by the body that help fight against foreign substances called antigens. When an antigen enters the body, it stimulates the immune system to produce antibodies.(The immune system is the body's natural defense system.) The antibodies attach, or bind, themselves to the antigen and inactivate it. Every healthy adult's body has small amounts of thousands of different antibodies.hen an antigen enters the body, it stimulates the immune system to produce antibodies.
