Ag - Ab binding may result in?
1. Agglutination (clumping) 2.Opsonization ( aids phagocytosis) 3. Complement Fixation
The process of coating bacteria with serum protein attachment of phagocytes is called?
in some instances, adherence occurs easily, and the microorganism is readily phagocytized. Microorganisms can be more readily phagocytized if they are first coated with certain serum proteins that promote attachment of the microorganisms to the phagocyte. this process is called opsonization.
Why does itcz wind occur?
why ITCZ occur
Do tsunamis occur in deserts?
No. They occur in coastal areas.
Where does a thunderstorm mostly occur?
were do thunder storms occur
How is opsonization associated with inflammation?
In the immune system, opsonization occurs and causes swelling, redness, production at the site of the infection and pain and discomfort.
Which of the following is an effect of complement activation?
Opsonization
What is the function of the complement cascade called opsonization?
processing
What is the difference between opsonization and neutralization?
Opsonization involves an antibody binding to a pathogen itself while neutralizing invovles an antibody binding to a toxin, AKA something the pathogen produces.
What is it called when some of the chemicals released during complement fixation enhance phagocytosis?
Opsonization Chemotaxis
What are actions of antibiotics?
(1) Neutralization (2) Opsonization (3) Precipitation (4) Adherence inhibition (5) Immune complex formation
Ag - Ab binding may result in?

What is opsonisation?
Enhances phagocytes by coating a microbe. Opsonization promotes attachment of a phagocyte to a microbe.
How do macrophages recognize infectious agents such as bacteria?
When antibodies bind to the epitopes of an antigen(bacteria) via antigen receptors, the antibodies present the bacteria to a macrophages in a form that they recognize the foreign substance and engulf them. This antibody-antigen "team work" is also known as opsonization

Where do blizzard's occur?
they can occur any where it has to occur with precipitation
What is the fucton of antibodies?
Lots of function... 1. Neutralize toxins and prevent them spreading in the circulation 2. Opsonization for phagocytosis by cells with FcR 3. Classical complement pathway: C1q binds Fc portion of antibodies and intiates a cascade of events that result to cell death 4. Autoimmune disorders (IgE
