 1. Med., Physiol. Chem. Any of various bodies or substances in the blood which act in antagonism to harmful foreign bodies, as toxins or the bacteria producing the toxins. Normal blood serum apparently contains various antibodies, and the introduction of toxins or of foreign cells also stimulates production of their specific antibodies by the immune system.
 Note: In certain “autoimmune” diseases, the immune system of an organism may produce antibodies to parts of the organism's own structure, and can cause considerable damage and even death as a result.
