Why do conditions that cause destruction of B lymphocytes and or T lymphocytes cause malfunctioning of both specific and nonspecific immune responses?
The destruction of B lymphocytes and or T lymphocytes is a cell injury. Both of these lymphocytes are needed to activate the specific and nonspecific immune responses.
Similarities between primary and secondary immune response?
Well...
What are the similarities between agglutinogens and agglutinins?
Both found in blood and both part of the immune system.
Is this true or false Allergies or hypersensitivities are normal immune responses?
They're abnormal immune responses - by definition, an allergy is an inappropriate response to a foreign substance. After all, it's not known as an 'allergy' when people's immune systems attack harmful pathogens, despite the body mounting somewhat similar immune responses.
Enhance immune responses to subsequent exposures to an antigen to which the body has already been exposed are know as?
memory responses
Are antibodies nonspecific?
Antibodies are non specific! That is why antibody testing does not signify anything specific except that an immune response is on progress. Processed flour will give you an immune response and show elevated liver enzymes that are typical during times of infection
What is non-specific immune responses?
Nonspecific immune response is the first and second line of defense when a foreign object tries to enter or enter the body. This response will attack anything (specific immune response will only attack certain infections) that it comes in contact with.Parts of nonspecific immune response are: Skin, Mucous membranes, Phagocytic (cells that eat foreign particles) cells, Antimicrobial proteins, and the inflammatory response.Inflammation-APEX
What are special proteins that direct immune and inflammatory responses?
They are called as immunoglobulins.
Macromolecules that induce the immune system to make certain responses?
antigens
How local immune responses when you accidentally stepped on a rusty nail?
You can trust immune responses for all organisms except the anerobic Clostridium tetani. Get preventive immunization by a shot of Tetanus toxoid vaccine to be safe.
How does injecting an inactive form of pathogen make a person immune?
the inactive form still has the antigens (protein markers) specific to that pathogen on the surface. the immune system develops specific responses to this pathogen when it is encountered after a vaccination. as it is inactive the person does not suffer the effects of this pathogen, but when an active form is encountered later the immune system is quicker to respond due to the fact that it now recognises those antigens.
Which cell of the immune system is absolutely required for an adaptive immune response in that it helps activate both humoral and cellular immune responses?
Helper T cells
