What is anti-viral proteins secreted antibodies?
Interleukin
What are secreted by plasma cells and are also known as antibodies?
immunoglobulins
How do you call the soluble proteins secreted by plasma cells?
Yes they are
What is the difference between antibody and immunogloulin?
Antibodies are secreted (plasma cells), while immunoglobulins are membrane-bound (naive B cells).
What is a sentence that has polyclonal in it?
Polyclonal antibodies showed up in the blood test.Rabbits are the most common animal for polyclonal antibody production.Chickens are sometimes used for polyclonal antibody production.
To what do antibodies respond?
Antibodies are secreted by a special group of white blood cells called lymphocytes. Each type of cell (including bacteria) has a unique protein on its cell membrane - an antigen. If a lymphocyte does not recognise a particular antigen, it will assume that the cell (or bacterium) is foreign and hostile. This is what antibodies respond to - the stimulus as the result of an unfamiliar cell. The antibodies attach to the antigens and kill the cell, or bacterium.
Which antibody class neutralizes viruses in the intestinal tract?
I would assume IgA class antibodies. The intestinal tract is lined with mucous membranes and the IgA class is primarily secreted through mucous.
The hormones secreted by the thymus are called?
The gland produces thymosins, which are hormones that stimulate the development of antibodies. The thymus also produces T-lymphocytes which are white blood cells that fight infections and destroy abnormal cells.
Is Acquired Immunity the same as Humoral Immunity?
Actually acquired immunity consists of "humoral immunity" and "cell mediated immunity. Acquired immunity is the same with adaptive immunity, it is when the antibodies are produced within the bodies after the exposure of pathogen. Humoral immunity secreted antibodies while cell mediated immunity involves in production of T lymphocytes.
Why is passive immunity of much shorter time or duration than active immunity?
With active immunity, the body has cells that produce antibodies to antigens composed of amino acids. The antigen could be a protein itself, or on a virus or bacteria. Once the body has a cell that can produce antibodies to this antigen, it differentiates into memory cells and plasma cells, which are the factories that produce the antibodies. With passive immunity, just the antibodies are given, such as an injection. Mothers also confer passive immunity to their children through breast milk. IgA (one of the 5 antibody classes) is secreted. This is temporary as it will bind the antigen, but will not induce production of their own protective antibodies.
