Some scientists believe that mapping all of our antibodies could advance medicine.

Antibodies are immune proteins that recognize and attach to invasive pathogens, like viruses, bacteria, and parasites, that can come into our body. Humans have millions of antibodies and some scientists believe that the key to advancing medicine will be found in mapping all of our antibodies.
