React with antigens and inactivates them?
Antibodies
What medical term specialized white blood cells that produce antibodies coded to specific antigens?
all wbc produce antibodies to attach the the pathogens antigens.
What are specialized white blood cells that produce antibodies coded to destroy specific antigens?
the B-cells.
What type of white blood cell releases antibodies?
The answer is Lymphocytes. However, they do not RELEASE antibodies. When there is an increase in lymphocytes this indicates a viral infection. Internally, this viral infection is represented as a foreign antigen that could potentially weaken the immune system. Once these foreign antigens are detected this triggers antibodies to form to eliminate the same antigens that created them (the viral infection). These antibodies are what work to fight away the viral infection to return the body to its original state.
Which antibody and antigen combination match each blood type?
The blood type notation A Rh- indicates which antigens and antibodies are present in the blood. A indicates there are A antigens. Rh+ indicates there are Rh antigens. B antibodies. If there are A and Rh antigens but no B antigens, the antibodies in the blood plasma are B antibodies.
Do antibodies attack extracellular or intracellular antigens?
Antibodies can attack both extracellular and intracellular antigens.
3 ways that antibodies help destroy pathogens?
The antigen itself cannot destroy the pathogen but here are three ways it helps out:1. Antibodies can clump antigens together in order to enhance phagocytosis2. Antibodies can activate the cytotoxic cell responses (a chemical that destroys antibody-bound antigen).3. Antibodies can activate B lymphocytes, which results in the production on plasma and memory cells.
What is also known as B lymphocytes?
Lymphocytes play a role in body's natural defense. They are comprised of B cells and T cells. T cells are cellular mediators of immunity whereas B cells differentite into immunoglobulin-synthesizing plasma cells. If T cells are fighters, B cells like to 'prepare' by synthesizing antibodies to the invading antigens.
What do the four stages of the immune system do?
in first phase lymphocytes are activated through producing of antibodies by b cells, also by killing of microbes and antigens by t cells. in second phase these antigens which are killed in the previous phase are eliminated by Tc cells .
How are antigens associated with antibodies?
Antibodies are produced in response to antigens. If you get infected with one of the 200 viruses that cause colds, these viruses are antigens and your body will respond by making antibodies. The antibodies will inactivate the virus. It usually takes 7-10 for the process to be complete.
The functions of antibodies is to?
Function of antibodies is to neutralizes the antigens that enters.
A person who is B positive will have?
B antigens, antibodies to A, and Rh antigens
