Antibody, an Uncommon card
An antibody, or immunoglobulin, is a large protein belonging to the immunoglobulin superfamily which is used by the immune system to identify and neutralize antigens such as those that exist on bacteria and virus cells, including those that cause disease.

The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Each individual antibody recognizes one or more specific antigens, and antigens of virtually any size and chemical composition can be recognized.
- Each of the branching chains comprising the "Y" of an antibody contains a paratope that specifically binds to one particular epitope on an antigen, allowing the two molecules to bind together with precision.
- Using this mechanism, antibodies can effectively "tag" the antigen for attack by cells of the immune system, or can neutralize it directly.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Antibody article was read about 130,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 89 and blocks with 93: each hit it takes is cut by 37 %.
How to get Antibody
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
