Artificially stimulating antibodies to a disease is called?
immunization
Can monoclonal antibodies be specific for multiple antigenic determinants?
No, they are pure antibody preparations specific for a single antigenic determinant.
Does production of recombinant proteins have therapeutic applications?
Absolutely, bioactive peptides and monoclonal antibodies are two therapeutics that are currently used.
What Immunity results when antibodies produced in another animal are introduced into your body?
This is called artificially acquired passive immunity. See link below:
What type of immunity are antibodies given to a person?
Artificially acquired Active- vaccines (active or live viruses that are lifelong immunity) Artificially acquired Passive - gamma globulin injection that is temporary (used for overseas trips)
How you control viral infection?
Prevention is the most effective way to control a virus. This is done mainly through the use of vaccinations and other preparations that contain antibodies.
A major difference between active and passive immunity is that active immunity requires?
Active immunity requires exposure to the antigen, either naturally or artificially, in order for the immune system to build antibodies against it. Passive immunity does not require exposure to the antigen because the antibodies are obtained either naturally, through mother's milk, or artificially through an injection of a serum, such as that is used in antivenom for snake bites.
What is pooled serum human globulin and what type of immunity might this confer?
Pooled human serum globulin is antibodies (or antitoxins) found in our blood. When administered to a patient after exposure to Hepatitis A it is a type of Artificially acquired passive immunity.
What does the human immune system produced that is the basis for immunization?
Antibodies
What do vaccines stimulate production of?
Vaccines stimulate production of antibodies.
How do you obtain passive immunity?
Passive immunity is the transfer of active humoral immunity in the form of readymade antibodies, from one individual to another. Passiveimmunity can occur naturally, when maternal antibodies are transferred to the fetus through the placenta, and can also be induced artificially, when high levels of human (or horse) antibodies specific for a pathogen or toxin are transferred to non-immune individuals. Passive immunization is used when there is a high risk of infection and insufficient time for the body to develop its own immune response, or to reduce the symptoms of ongoing or immunosuppressive diseases.
What is one source of passive immunity?
A form of acquired immunity resulting from antibodies that are transmitted naturally through the placenta to a fetus or through the colostrum to an infant or artificially by injection of antiserum for treatment or prophylaxis. Passive immunity is not permanent and does not last as long as active immunity.
