A type of immune response that is produced by the action of antibodies within body fluids?
humoral immunity response
How could an antibody cause a problem in a transplant?
Antibodies can cause rejection of the donor organ/ tissue within minutes if the person receiving the organ already had antibodies against the donor. Rejection of donated blood involves antibodies which form the basis of the immune response triggered by the donation. Rejection of a donated kindey or heart involves both antibodies and cell mediated immunity.
What blood test is used to diagnose Lyme disease?
PreVue. The test, which searches for antigens (substances that stimulate the production of antibodies) produced by Borrelia burgdorferi, gives results within one hour in the doctor's office
How does the body changes?
Vaccinations produces antibodies and antibodies are those in the immune system to fight off bacteria storied within a human's body.
What does a vaccine do when it enters your body?
A vaccine is actually a severely weakened version of the virus being vaccinated against.. The body recognizes this weak virus as a threat and builds antibodies to deal with that specific threat. After these antibodies have been created, your body then has a mechanism to destroy future infections of this virus before it has a chance to make you sick.
How has the measles vaccine prevented diesease?
Measles vaccine prevents from measles and is administered to children of 18 months with a second dose before age of 4 or 5 years. Vaccine of measles contain alive viruses (called antigens). The alive antigen can reproduce inside the human body but they do not damage host because they are weakened in laboratory to the point where they are still alive and able to reproduce but can not cause serious illness. When this vaccine is injected into the human body, the T cells of lymphocytes (White blood cells) detect the type of viruses in it. Then B cells of lymphocytes produce antibodies against these viruses. The viruses reproduce inside human body therefore the lymphocytes produce more antibodies against this specific type of viruses. Antibodies bind to the viruses, stop their activity and destroy them. Now the viruses of vaccine have been destroyed but the antibodies against them are still present and they prevent the actual viruses (harmful) of measles to cause illness. The person who has once caught measles also has the antibodies against measles viruses after the actual viruses entered the body and caused illness. Therefore the patient will recover within a week without using the vaccine.This person can not get measles again in life because the antibodies against measeles are already produced for prevntion by catching measles once. These antibodies are memory cell for this specific type of viruses. The vaccine of measles does not cure but it is used for prevention because it helps in production of antibodies against measles without causing illness.

What are the purpose of agglutination test?
Agglutination serves to provide an idea of the presence of certain antibodies within the body. If specific antibodies against the antigen are present, the antibodies will combine with the antigens, coat the cells and cause the cells to join together, or agglutinate. It can be used to identify unknown antigens in diagnosing infections and to determine matching tissue types and blood groupings between two individuals.
Will most people infected with the HIV develop detectable antibodies to the infection within 3 months of exposure?
Most people infected with HIV will develop detectable antibodies to the infection within three months of exposure
Is Acquired Immunity the same as Humoral Immunity?
Actually acquired immunity consists of "humoral immunity" and "cell mediated immunity. Acquired immunity is the same with adaptive immunity, it is when the antibodies are produced within the bodies after the exposure of pathogen. Humoral immunity secreted antibodies while cell mediated immunity involves in production of T lymphocytes.
Will a mother's blood produce antibodies if the mother is B positive and the baby is B negative?
The mother will be given Rhogam injection within 72 hours to prevent formation of antibodies to protect the 2nd baby that he will be conceiving.
Why IgM is normally the first antibody to be produced during any infection?
A mature naive B cell expresses on its cell membrane as receptors IgM and IgD. When it finds a specific antigen, it will undergo several divisions and finally differentiation in memory cells and plasma cells. The genes that code for the IgM class are still present in the plasma cells, and therefore those are the types of antibodies that are first produced and released. However, later class switching occurs within those genes, and new types of antibodies with the same specificity are produced (IgG, IgE, IgA)
