How does an immune response starts after a macrophage attacts a pathogen?
The blood cells detect the pathogen The pathogens release toxins The blood cells make antibodies to fit the toxins ( they have to be a specific shape) The antibodies stick the bacteria together ready to be engulfed by he white blood cells The White blood cells remember the antibodies needed for that pathogen so they can make antibodies quicker next time the pathogen invades
How do you make antibodies for a specific pathogen?
That is the job of the B-cells, or B Lymphocytes.
Which of the following initiates an attack against a specific antigen or pathogen?
Plasma Cell initiate attacks against specific antigens. Plasma cells are B cells bearing specific antibodies for binding to a specific antigen.
Why do white blood cells produce antibodies?
White Blood Cells prouduce antibodies because when a pathogen (another name for a diease) enters your body white blood cells sends out the right antibodies to kill the pathogen and when it is killed the white blood cells remembers it so if the pathogen ever comes back again they know how to get rid of it this is called immunty
Is producing antibodies a response by human white blood cells to pathogens?
Yes. Antibodies are made in response to pathogens. The antibodies are made by WBCs. These antibodies are a "match" to the pathogen. The next time the body is attacked by this pathogen, the antibody response will be much faster and a person will recover much sooner.
Which antibody protect harmful effect?
All antibodies prevent the harmful effects of viruses. B cells create antibodies for one specific virus that has been detected by the immune system. Once the antibodies reach a pathogen, they bind to the receptors of the virus, disabling it and rendering it useless.
What do B and T lymphocytes do?
T cells (Thymus cells) and B cells (bone cells).The function of T cells and B cells is to recognize specific "non-self" antigens, during a process known as antigen presentation. Once they have identified an invader, the cells generate specific responses that are tailored to maximally eliminate specific pathogens or pathogen infected cells. B cells respond to pathogens by producing large quantities of antibodies which then neutralize foreign objects like bacteria and viruses. In response to pathogens some T cells, called T helper cells, produce cytokines that direct the immune response while other T cells, called cytotoxic T cells, produce toxic granules that contain powerful enzymes which induce the death of pathogen infected cells.Following activation, B cells and T cells leave a lasting legacy of the antigens they have encountered, in the form of memory cells. Throughout the lifetime of an animal these memory cells will "remember" each specific pathogen encountered, and are able to mount a strong and rapid response if the pathogen is detected again.
How do vaccines prevent diseases?
1) Antibodies bind to the pathogen to prevent them from entering or damaging cells 2) Antibodies coat the pathogen stimulating the removal of pathogen by macrophages and other cells 3) They trigger destruction of pathogens by stimulating other immune responses such as complement pathway
How are antibodies produced?
lymphocytes make antibodies by first getting the antigen marker from a pathogen. Then, using a 'toolkit' of various protein fragments, they use the marker as a 'blueprint' to make the antibody.
What happens after a white blood cell destroys a pathogen?
The cell will expel the phagosome that the pathogen was in through exocytosis.
How do white blood cells recognize particular types of pathogen?
Lymphocytes make a different antibody for each pathogens. They have this 'memory' of a pathogen they had previously come in contact with. The person is then said to be immune to that disease, as the lymphocytes know immediately which antibody to make.
What is the cell that produce antibodies to fight a specific antigen?
It is the B-cells.
