Proteins play a major part in protecting our cells and our body.
An antibody is a highly specific protein that attaches itself to a foreign substance.
The protein produced by B cells that attacks foreign cells is called antibodies or immunoglobulins. Antibodies specifically target and neutralize pathogens like bacteria and viruses.
A virus is a microorganism that has a protein coat, also known as a capsid, which surrounds its genetic material. The protein coat helps protect the viral genome and assists in the virus' ability to infect host cells.
Yes, H5N1 is an influenza virus, which means it has a protein coat called a capsid surrounding its genetic material. The capsid helps protect the virus and enables it to infect host cells.
Phagocytes
White blood cells
A plasmid (loop) of DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) and an assortment of enzymes and viral proteins.
White blood cells, because they are actually a cell of the immune system and they defend the body against infectious diseases and foreign materials. When white blood cells are fighting against a disease or foreign material, their numbers increase until the material is gone.
This description refers to a virus, which contains genetic material (either DNA or RNA) enclosed in a protein coat. The protein coat helps protect the genetic material and aids in the virus's ability to infect host cells.
Protein is used inside cells to protect the cell and provide nutrients.
Processed fragments of protein antigens displayed on surfaces of body cells.
The protein coat of a virus is called a capsid. It serves to protect the viral genetic material and aids in the attachment and entry of the virus into host cells. The capsid is composed of protein subunits called capsomers, which can vary in shape and arrangement depending on the type of virus.
