React with antigens and inactivates them?
Antibodies
Serological testing is based on the fact that antibodies react specifically with an anigen all bacteria have the same antigens or the human body makes antibodies against bacteria?
AnswerThe human body makes specific antibodies to specific antigens (ex. proteins on a bacterial membrane) that it encounters. Bacteria do not all have the same antigens.* antibodies react specifically with an antigen
When antibodies bind antigens the clumping of antigens result from?
There are four reactions when antibodies react with antigens: agglutination, precipitation, neutralization or activation of complement. Agglutination is the clumping process that you are looking for.
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.
What are antigens determining blood type carried on?
Antigens, by definition, cause the body to produce antibodies which act against them. You inherit certain antigens which are on your red blood cells. Sometimes these antigens are absent from your RBC. If you are type B, you have B antigens. Type A has A antigens, AB has AB antigens and type O has no antigens. If you are type AB, you can receive AB blood from some one else.
The functions of antibodies is to?
Function of antibodies is to neutralizes the antigens that enters.
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.
Why in type ab blood there is agglutination in anti A serum and anti B serum?
As Blood type O contains Anti-A-Antibodies and Anti-B-Antibodies (not Antigens) Anti-A-Serum contains Anti-A-Antibodies (which reacts with A antigen not antibody) Anti-B-Serum contains Anti-B-Antibodies (which reacts with B antigen not antibody) so antibody in antiserum will not find any antigen in blood-group O to react with so no Clumping
A person who is B positive will have?
B antigens, antibodies to A, and Rh antigens
If an individual is transfused with the wrong type blood the recipients antibodies react with the donors antigens eventually clumping and hemolyzing the donated RBC?
true
What do antibodies work against?
Antigens
