What traps a pathogen?
antibodies
Why you have antibodies?
Antibodies are used to fight from foreign particles (pathogen generally) entering in the body of an individual.
Why do you get sick the first time when you are infected with a pathogen?
Because specialized B cells make antibodies that are effective against that particular invader. Therefore, the first time you are infected, you usually get sick.
What is the difference between an antigen and pathogen?
an aepitope is the part of an antigen where antibodiy or lymphocyte receptor binds
Why do each pathogen need a specific antibody?
each pathogen has a antigene which the antibodies attach to so each pathogen needs a unique antibodie
How does an immune response starts after a macrophage attacts a pathogen?
The blood cells detect the pathogen The pathogens release toxins The blood cells make antibodies to fit the toxins ( they have to be a specific shape) The antibodies stick the bacteria together ready to be engulfed by he white blood cells The White blood cells remember the antibodies needed for that pathogen so they can make antibodies quicker next time the pathogen invades
How are antibodies produced?
lymphocytes make antibodies by first getting the antigen marker from a pathogen. Then, using a 'toolkit' of various protein fragments, they use the marker as a 'blueprint' to make the antibody.
Is producing antibodies a response by human white blood cells to pathogens?
Yes. Antibodies are made in response to pathogens. The antibodies are made by WBCs. These antibodies are a "match" to the pathogen. The next time the body is attacked by this pathogen, the antibody response will be much faster and a person will recover much sooner.
What is the amount of antibodies in a person's blood in response to exposure to a pathogen?
titer
Specialized disease-fightning proteins are?
Proteins involved mainly in defense system are antibodies or immunoglobulins.They help to neutralize the pathogen and clear them out of the cells. In addition there are complement proteins, Interferons, cytokines, etc. in the immune system.
How does Producing antibodies protect you against diseases?
antibodies are specific to a pathogen's antigen, it sticks the pathogen together with other pathogens, ruptures the organism or disables them. This stops you getting too many pathogens which give you diseases
What is the difference between antigens and pathogen's?
An antigen is a body's system for creating antibodies to fight infection. A pathogen is an infectious agent (or germ).
