It's interesting that you and van den Bossche both discuss antibodies of the innate immune system. Antibodies have previously, and for duration of my medical education & practice, been understood to be exclusive to humoral immunity, which falls under the adaptive immune system. In van den Bossche's case, I assumed this was a mistake due to English being a foreign language for him. But you seem to be a native English speaker. So is "antibody" acquiring a new expanded meaning?
