How much do we really understand about the mechanics of how immune cells make antibodies that bind specifically to a target

It's simple: antigens are like the bad guys in that old 80s arcade game centipede. The antibody is your ship. The bad guys that make it past you make the antigen-binding site. Look at how potential antigens are stacked at the top of your pic. pretty accurate desu

Quoted By:

think of it as keys and key holes.
virus has a key to the cell's keyhole (receptors) so it can enter it. antibodies clip on the viruses key making it unable to fit in the cell's keyhole. the antibody needs to be specific to that key in order to be able to clip on it.

V(D)J recombination. Like most other immunology topics it is much more complicated than it first seems.

The other answers are retards.
