What is the relationship between antigen and antibody?
Basically to explain this, an antigen is any type of pathogen that causes disease, while an antibody is something that combats against the antigen.
What happens when antibody binds an antigen?
It causes pathogens to stick together.
What is a substance usually a protein that causes the formation of an antibody and reacts specifically with that antibody?
An antigen is any substance that causes your immune system to produce antibodies against it. An antigen may be a foreign substance from the environment. If you get a vaccine for rubella, the antibody formed will not act against mumps (another virus).
The clumping of cells that occurs as a result of an antigen-antibody reaction is called?
When an antigen and antibody react it causes cells to clump together. The term used to describe the clumping of cells is called agglutination.
What is the medical term for an antibody that under suitable conditions combines with and causes its specific and soluble antigen to precipitate from solution?
The Medical term is Precipitin.
What is the basic principle of the antigen-antibody reaction?
-the principle of antigen-antibody reaction is a process of the immune system in which immunoglobulin-coated B cells recognize a specific antigen and stimulate antibody production. T cells also play an essential role in the reaction. An antigen-antibody reaction begins with the binding of antigens to antibodies to form antigen-antibody complexes. These complexes may render toxic antigens harmless (neutralization), agglutinize antigens on the surface of microorganisms, or activate the complement system by exposing the complement binding sites on antibodies. Certain complement protein molecules immediately bind to these sites and trigger the activity of the other complement protein molecules, which cause antigen-bearing cells to lyse. Antigen-antibody reactions may start immediately with antigen contact or as much as 48 hours later. They normally produce immunity but may also be responsible for allergy, autoimmunity, and fetomaternal hematologic incompatibility. In the immediate allergic response, the antigen-antibody reaction activates certain enzymes and causes an imbalance between those enzymes and their inhibitors
What is the alternative name for antibody?
An antigen is any substance that causes your immune system to produce antibodies against it. An antigen may be a foreign substance from the environment, such as chemicals, bacteria, viruses, or pollen. It could be also called an irritant.
What are causes?
.Allergic rhinitis is a type of immune reaction.reaction between antibody and antigen sets off a series of reactions.the offending substance is called an allergen.The number of possible airborne allergens is enormous.
How do antibodies kill food poisioning?
food poisioning mainly caused by organism called clostridium botulinum.this organism will secreate dangerous toxin called botulinum toxin which is very fatal in nature.it was known that 1u gr of this toxin has the ability to kill 20000 mice at a time.This organism on entering into body secretes ENDOTOXINcalled botulinum toxin.if we give antibody containing preparations called botulinum antitoxin into body this causes antigen-antibody reaction and toxin produced by it gets nuetralised.This process involves nuetralisation reaction,this involves antigen antibody reactions.here antigen is botulinum toxin while antibody is antitoxin.this antibody containing preparation which includes antitoxin reacts with the toxin and nuetralise it.then floccules occurs and toxin effect will be nuetralised.thus antibodies injected against that specific antitoxin kills food poisioning.
What is a substance that causes an immune response called?
Antigen
What causes the immune response?
an antigen
What is the meaning of curdle?
