🗑
Antibodies   AKA immunoglobulin; helps identify and neutralize bacteria, viruses, and anything attacking your immune system; highly specific proteins that attach themselves to foreign substances to destroy them.  
🗑
Agranulocytes   Do not have granules in their cytoplasms; consists of monocytes and lymphocytes  
🗑
