when a antigen enters the body then the body would send antibodies to get rid of them.
The antibody doesn't get rid of the antigen they tag it by binding to it so that a cell..a white blood cell can come and destroy by phagi.

What occurs if a T cell binds to an antigen and the T cell does not receive a co-stimulatory signal?
The T cell enters a state of anergy. In this case, the T cell becomes tolerant to that antigen and is unable to divide or to secrete cytokines. This state of unresponsiveness to antigen is called anergy.
What is the basic principle of blood transfusion?
Blood type A have antigen A and anti- body B Blood type B have antigen B and anti- body A Blood type AB have antigens A and B and no anti- body Blood type O do not have antigen but have anti- bodies A and B
Substance produced by the body that destroys the antigen?
antibody
The main antigen-presenting cells in the body are?
MACROPHAGES
When does a human body elicit an anamnestic response?
When the body encounter with the same antigen.
Any foreign substance that enters the body and induces an immune response is called?
Antigen
What is the exact nature of antibodies?
antibodies are immune cells which are present in the immune system and it helps in , if any foregin particles or antigens enters in our body it kills that antigen or it binds to the antigen and forms the antigen _antibody complex
The cold virus causes disease when it enters the of the human body?
Respiratory tract
What is a substance that the body regards as foreign?
One term that is used is antigen. An antiGEN will GENerate an ANTIbody which will 'kill' the antigen.
How are the terms antigen and antibody related?
An antigen are the germs that enter the body, and antibodies are the thing that the body produces to kill them.
How do you rise antibody for specific substance?
it can be rised according to the epitopes present in antigen that enters our body..if separate antibody is rised to each specific epitope v call it as monoclonal antibody
Antibodies are produced in the body and attach themselves to antigen?
Yes that is true, and they only attach to a non-self antigen, that is, an antigen not produced in the body. and they only attach to certain antigens
Antigen and antibody?
An antigen is a foreign particle that enters the body. This could be a disease causing agent such as part of a bacterium or virus or could be a particle such as pollen or dust. An antibody is a protein made by the body's immune system. Antibodies react with specific antigens to enable the antigens to be removed from the body.
What is the relationship between antigen and antibody?
Basically to explain this, an antigen is any type of pathogen that causes disease, while an antibody is something that combats against the antigen.
Does an antibody attached to an antigen make it harmless?
When an antibody attaches onto an antigen it destroys the antigen to help your body fight off a disease.
What are antigens and how do lymphocytes recognize them?
it specifically recognise the antigenic determinants called epitopes and the similar sequence of that particular epitope will be produced by the antibody at is variable region(specifically hypervariable region) whch make an antibody to get more affinity over that particular antigen..almost antibodies are available for almost all the antigens in our body(memory cells)and they starts increasing in numbr once an antigen enters our body
What does an antigen do?
An antigen is a foreign body. It is used as a "template" to begin an appropriate immune response.
