What does the body do when an antigen enters the body?
when a antigen enters the body then the body would send antibodies to get rid of them. The antibody doesn't get rid of the antigen they tag it by binding to it so that a cell..a white blood cell can come and destroy by phagi.
What type of cell makes blood cells?
antigen
How do white blood cells know what to attack?
All cells carry unique proteins on their cell membranes. These are called antigens, and when white blood cells come across an unfamiliar antigen, they will treat the cell (or bacterium) as hostile, and treat it as such by releasing antibodies, or by engulfing the cell.
What is a sensitized sheep red blood cell?
it's the red blood cell that's coated by the antigen-antibody complement complex.
What Red blood cell antigen named after the rhesus monkey?
Rh Factor

What are anti bodies and antigen?
The antigen is the foreign "invader" in the body. The antibody is a tiny "Y" shaped protein that is chemically attracted to a specific antigen; binding to it and thereby marking it for destruction by a white blood cell.
What type of cell makes blood cells?
antigen
What is hepatitis virus tests?
These tests are based primarily on antigen-antibody reactions--an antigen being a protein foreign to the body, and an antibody another type of protein manufactured by lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell) to neutralize the antigen.

What is the blood cell protein that elicits an immune reaction?
Antigen

What happence when an antigen on a red blood cell comes in contact with the antibody designed to seek it out?
The antibody is killed off, and the antigen spreads
What Red blood cell antigen named after the rhesus monkey?
Rh Factor
What does a white blood cell have that a red blood cell doesn't?
The white blood cell has nucleus that red blood cell does not
What is the difference between the red blood cell and the nerve cell?
the nerve cell is the white cell and it is white but it doesnt care as much blood as the red blood cell does that's the difference. Also, the nerve cell is the white cell and it is white but the red blood carries blood. Wait, I think the nerve cell is the white cell is white. White Cell=Nerve Cell*white. Cell=Nerve/White =;)
What produces antibodies to remove foreign invaders?
Antibodies are produced in a White blood cell called a plasma cell. The antibody is made for a specific type of pathogen which it recognises by it's antigen. The antibody will link on to the pathogen and either destroy it or hold on to it until another White blood cell will come and ingest (eat) it.
