How does the immune response work?
The immune system is responsible for protecting the body against disease and infection. When the body detects a foreign body is detected, the immune system responds by attacking and destroying the foreign cells or substance.
What is the difference between the innate immune response and the acquired immune response?
An innate immune response is something that you are born with, while an acquired immune response is something that your body gains throughout life... Read More
Is the immune response triggered by antibodies?
No. Immune response is triggered by the antigen. Read More
Whats the difference between the primary immune response and the secondary immune response?
The secondary response comes subsequently to the primary immune response and it is also more rapid and effective. Read More
What distinguishes the secondary immune response from the primary immune response?
the secondary immune response is faster and stronger than the first. the primary response also takes a few days to react with the antigen whereas the secondary immune response reacts faster to an antigen. Read More
What do the different types of blood cells work together to produce the immune response?
it good. Read More
What system fights disease and controls the immune response?
The immune system is the system which controls the immune response. A number of white blood cells are involved. HIV is caused by a virus which breaks down your immune system. Read More
What are the two types of immune response in the second line of defence?
Innate Immune Respose and Aquired Immune Response.... ^_^ Read More
Explain how the cells of the immune system evoke and maintain an immune response?
Chuck Norris evokes and maintains an immune response. Read More
Which is part of a specific immune response?
Looking for antigens is part of a specific immune response. Read More
Which is more rapid primary or secondary immune response?
Secondary Immune Response is more rapid. Read More
What is the function of adjuvant in immune response?
When mixed with an immunogen, it enhances the immune response against the immunogen Read More
How does the TB vaccine work?
All vaccinations work on the same principle. By injecting into the body a material which is chemically similar to a given disease organism (such as the tuberculosis baccilus) the immune system is activated, and will prepare an immune response to that disease before the actual disease organism ever enters the body. Therefore there is a faster and more effective immune response if the disease is ever actually encountered. Read More
What is meant by secondary immune response?
when it an infection or something gets past the first immune response then your body uses a different response or after immunisation Read More
In order for antigens to incite the immune response they must be?
in order for antigens to incite the immune response the y must be ? Read More
Epidermal cells that aid in the immune response include?
Epidermal cells that aid in the immune response include melanocytes. Read More
How does the drug thalidomide work?
Thalidomide regulates the immune response by suppressing a protein, tumor necrosis factor alpha. Read More
Explain the difference between innate response and an acquired response?
An innate immune response is something that your born with, while an acquired immune response is something your body gains through out life... Read More
How do you get a problem with your immune system?
There are many different diseases which result from problems with the immune system; broadly speaking, there are two types, which involve either an excessive immune response, causing an autoimmune disease such as multiple sclerosis, or an insufficient immune response, causing a disease such as AIDS. There are also many different reasons why the immune system may not work correctly. However, the greatest single threat to the functioning of the immune system is the human immunodeficiency… Read More
Specific immune response?
the bodies immune system tells the white blood cells to attack enemy bacteria (etc.) as the first response to the immune system's defense Read More
How does an immune response starts after a macrophage attacts a pathogen?
An immune response starts after a macrophage attacks a pathogen by engulfing and digesting them. Read More
How does immunisation work?
Immunisation works on a process when the body is injected with or swallows vaccine. Body produces an immune response. If a person comes in contact with a disease in future, body is able to make an immune response fast enough to prevent illness. Read More
Is an allergy a circulatory system response?
No, it is a response of the immune system. Read More
Example of primary immune response?
The best example of a primary immune response is when the immune system initially responds to a virus or bacteria. It creates a memory cell that will make you sick. Read More
What is the name for the immune system response to an infection by a pathogen against which individual has been vaccinated?
It may be called: Immune response or Adaptive response (since the immune system adapts to produce the antigens to fight the disease when exposed to the vaccine). Read More
What is your body's second line of defence?
Immune systems launches attacks on foreign invaders. Includes two types of immune responses: innate immune response and acquired immmune response. Read More
What is an immune response?
An immune response is part of the body's defense against pathogens in which cells of the immune system react to each kind of pathogen with a defense targeted specifically toward that pathogen. Read More
How do doctors use the immune response to protect you from disease?
It is called the Immune System. Read More
What is non specific immune response?
Nonspecific immune response is the first and second line of defense when a foreign object tries to enter or enter the body. This response will attack anything (specific immune response will only attack certain infections) that it comes in contact with. Parts of nonspecific immune response are: Skin, Mucous membranes, Phagocytic (cells that eat foreign particles) cells, Antimicrobial proteins, and the inflammatory response. Inflammation-APEX Read More
An immune response to a tissue graft will differ from an immune response to a bacterium because?
MHC molecules of the host may stimulate rejection of the graft tissue :] Read More
What are the components of your innate immune response to disease?
Phagocytic and natural killer cells, inflammation, and fever are components the innate immune system's response to disease. Read More
What are Substances capable of triggering the adaptive immune system and provoking an immune response?
Disease Read More
Which is part of the nonspecific immune response?
Inflammation and fever are nonspecific immune system reactions. Read More
What does a booster shot do to people's immune systems?
It "reminds" the immune system how to deal with the antigen in the vaccine (e.g. the virus that causes flu) by causing another immune response to "boost" your immunity. See the related questions about how flu shots and vaccines work as well as how the immune system works for more details. Read More
What are the key factors in mounting an immune response?
The immune system is what mounts an immune response. It complex and consists of various barriers: chemical barriers, inflammation, general cellular barriers, and the specific barriers like antibodies. Read More
What is the role of antigens in the immune response to chickenpox?
The antigens cause an immune response leading to production of antibodies thereby causing the host to be resistant to subsequent infection Read More
