Antibodies stick to any viruses or infections. They don't attack, but they are like homing devices. They track the diseases so white blood cells (the attackers) know where the diseases are.

How do you make pathogens harmless before it is injected?
your immune system may stick antibodies all over it or heat kill. Happy Days
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.
Genetically engineered antibodies?
Antibodies: chemical that are like glue to specific pathogenes. They stick to bacteria and viruses and make them incapable of effecting their manevolent lifecycle. Genetically engineered: Engineers fooling bacteria, plants or animals into making specified chemical for us. When I'm sick I'm all for them.
Antibodies found in blood type A positive?
primarily B antibodies and Rh antibodies
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
What do antibodies to do the body?
antibodies are proteins that stick to the invading microorganisms the antibodies lock onto the antigen and force the bacteria or viruses to clump together.
Do T-cells make antibodies?
No they do not. B cells synthesize the antibodies.
Where are antibodies made?
Antibodies are made in the lymph nodes.
What pathogens respond to antibodies?
Antibodies respond to pathogens.
Is antibodies the same as white blood cells?
No, not even close. White blood cells are cells that circulate in your blood and lymph. B-cells are a type of white blood cell that start producing antibodies when they are shown what the antibody is needed for. For example, if your body has a bacterial infection, other cells 'pick up' debris from these bacterial cells, and 'show' these debris pieces to the B-cells. These B-cells then transform into 'plasma cells', which start producing antibodies specific for that particular bacteria. Antibodies basically 'stick' to any of that same bacteria that they find around your body, acting as a flag, so that your other immune cells can find it and attack it.
The functions of antibodies is to?
Function of antibodies is to neutralizes the antigens that enters.
