Difference between Hepatitis B and Virus

Hepatitis B vs. Virus

Hepatitis B is an infectious disease caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV) that affects the liver. A virus is a small infectious agent that replicates only inside the living cells of other organisms.

Antibody

An antibody (Ab), also known as an immunoglobulin (Ig), is a large, Y-shaped protein produced mainly by plasma cells that is used by the immune system to neutralize pathogens such as pathogenic bacteria and viruses.
