Patient's serum influenza virus and red blood cells are mixed in a tube What happens if the patient has antibodies against influenza virus?
Hemagglutination?
What happens if the patient has antibodies against influenza virus?
They should not get sick with that specific flu (but could with others).
What do antibodies to the aids virus indicate?
Antibodies to the AIDS virus indicates the person is HIV positive.
Why won't the antibodies for measles work against chickenpox?
Antibodies for measles don't work against chickenpox virus because antibody for measles virus can not bind to chickenpox virus. Antibody for a specific antigen should have a shape and structure that is able to fit into this virus. Then it will be able to inhibit the activity of this virus. When a measles vaccine is inserted inside human body, or when someone has measles, the T type lymphocytes (White Blood Cells) detect the type of viruses and then B type lymphocytes produce the antibodies against this specific type of virus. If viruses of the vaccine are alive they will reproduce themselves inside the human body and the number of antibodies against them also increases. Antibodies bind to these viruses and destroy them. Now the virus (of specific disease which needs prevention) which was in the vaccine have been destroyed but the antibodies against this disease viruses are still there and they prevent from the actual disease causing viruses. Antibodies are specific: An infection with the measles virus means that the person makes antibodies only against measles. It doesn't make any antibodies against chickenpox too.
What virus attacks the cells in the immune system that produces that antibodies?
HIV, human immunodeficiency virus, is the virus that attacks the cells in the immune system that produce antibodies.
How DNA is destroyed by virus?
It is not destroyed. It is "hijacked" by a virus so that the host DNA will begin to make virus parts.
How can your body produce antibodies against dead viruses?
A virus doesn't have to be alive for the body to produce antibodies against it. Antibodies recognize the physical appearance of a virus. By using dead viruses the immune system is taught to look out for a live virus with the same characteristics of the dead one, but you don't risk being infected by the virus.
Blood that is tested for HIV is tested for presence of antibodies to the virus not the virus itself?
true
What on a virus stimulates the body's production of antibodies?
An Antigen.
What coat the virus and keep it from making you sick?
Antibodies
What effect would antibodies have on a virus that causes the flu?
Antibodies can attach to and render a virus unable to attach to your cells to infect them. If you get a preventive vaccination, your antibodies will get to work on this project much sooner and you may feel no symptoms at all. More: Antibodies are specific to each particular virus or other pathogen, and play a key role in the immune response to invading virus infections. The antibodies are created to be the perfect shape to block the virus from being able to attach to the cells. If unable to attach to the cell, the virus can not reproduce. See related questions below for more information about the immune response to viral infections.
Can you have the same virus more than once?
No. Your body will build antibodies everytime you get a disease. Once your antibodies are built, they will destroy the virus before you can get sick. The reason you stay sick for a little bit is because the antibodies are being created.+
