What else can I help you with?
A given pathogen will provoke either a cell-mediated response or an antibody-mediated response but not both?
This statement is not accurate. Pathogens can provoke both cell-mediated and antibody-mediated responses at the same time. The type of immune response generated depends on the specific characteristics of the pathogen and the immune system of the host.
Explain briefly the contents of the Landsteiner's rule of reciprocity?
Landsteiner's rule states that when an antigen is on a red blood cell, the corresponding antibody is never present simultaneously. Instead, the reciprocal red cell antigen is present in the plasma or serum.(Ex. A type A individual has anti-B in their serum.)
Can an antigen provoke an immune response?
Yes, it's basically the only thing that does.
How was the name antigen derived?
The term "antigen" is derived from a combination of "antibody" and "generator." It was coined in the early 20th century to describe substances that can provoke an immune response by generating specific antibodies. Essentially, antigens are molecules or molecular structures that are recognized by the immune system, leading to the production of antibodies that target them.
Is provoke a misnomer?
Provoke is a misnomer. Pro means prefix of positive and provoking is something negative because it means to hurt someone or something.
How do you pronounce 'stimuli'?
STIMULI is the plural of "stimulus", an action intended to provoke another action or response. Pronounced "STIM-you-lie". (Don't provoke Stim!)
What is an antibody and antigen?
Antigens are substances that provoke an immune response (they're the ultimate target for the immune system). Antibodies are simply proteins that are secreted as a result of the antigen provoked immune response. In short, antigens cause the disease and antibodies cure it.
What is an autoantigen?
An antigen is an antibody generator which is introduced to the body to provoke a reaction. When appropriate an autoantigen is introduced for specific autoimmune issues.
What drug provokes an allergic response?
Any drug can provoke allergic response. Every one is unique and different. So some individuals give individual response to the given drug. All the drugs can give allergic response in some individuals. Some drugs are more prone to give allergic response. No drug is designed to give an allergic response. It will not be called as drug in that case.
Who was a historical figure who did civil disobedience to provoke and promote positive change in response to a social or political injustice?
Mahatma Gandhi
Why is a transplant consisting of fetal tissue less likely to provoke an immune rejection response than tissue from an adult?
Fetal tissue has lower levels of antigens, which are markers that the immune system recognizes as foreign. This makes fetal tissue less likely to provoke an immune response compared to adult tissue, which has a higher amount of antigens. Fetal tissue also has a higher ability to induce immune tolerance.
