Which are special molecules of protein produced by the immune system that match parts of pathogens and prevent them from infecting cells?
Antibodies are special molecules of protein produced by the immune system that match parts of pathogens and prevent them from infecting cells.
What cells produce antibodies and destroy pathogens?
white blood cells
How can the human body prevent attack against pathogens?
Primary responseSkin, mucous and saliva entraps the pathogens and digests it.Secondary responsethe blood cells named "lymphocytes" will encounter the pathogens by releasing antibodies against to it.
When b cells secrete antibodies does it fight against endogenous or exogenous pathogens?
exogenous pathogens.
What does b cells create against pathogens?
They transform themselves to lots of plasma cells, which create antibodies to fight against the pathogens.
What are antibodies?
Antibodies are special immune system cells that are matched to a specific virus. Once they attach to the virus, it is neutralized as a threat. Your body has to learn how to make antibodies for each virus it encounters, that is what vaccines are used for.
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
What type of cells produce antibodies to destroy pathogens?
Phagocytes use phagocytosis, also Macrophages (or white blood cells) use phagocytosis to engulf and destroy pathogens.
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.
What medical term specialized white blood cells that produce antibodies coded to specific antigens?
all wbc produce antibodies to attach the the pathogens antigens.
How do antibodies inactivate antigens?
antibody form a complex like enzyme - substrate or in a lock & key hypothesis manner and in turn activate the other immune cells of body like macrophages , dendritic cells these cells in turn lead to the phagocytosis or digestion of the antibody .
What do white blood cells release to destroy pathogens?
Antibodies are released by B-lymphocytes (one of thekinds of white blood cells)
