What are proteins that destroy foreign substances called?
An example of a protein that helps fight off infection is antibodies.
What are the naturally occurring antibodies?
They are antibodies that you are born with an occur without exposure to foreign. A good example would be found in an O negative individual. They have A and B antibodies in their plasma.
Large proteins of the blood and body fluids produced by the immune system in response to the invasion of the body by foreign molecules?
Antibodies
What protein in b cells produce that attack foreign cells are?
antibodies
Response of the body to invasion of foreign substance?
The body usually forms antibodies in response to invasion by a foreign material.
What is the foreign material called that stimulates the production of an antibody?
do you mean antigens? An antigen is any (foreign) substance that stimulates an immune reaction.
What is an antigene?
Antigen refers to any foreign substance which on entering the body stimulates the production of antibodies in the body of the individual as a part of the immune response. These foreign substances can be toxins, bacteria, virus, foreign blood cells or the cells of the transplated organs.
Definition of antigen?
a toxin or other foreign substance that induces an immune response in the body, especially the production of antibodies.
When a foreign substance invades the body what is it called?
Antigenan·ti·gen/ˈantijən/Noun:A toxin or other foreign substance that induces an immune response in the body, esp. the production of antibodies.
What is the difference between antibodies and antigens?
Antigen is a substance that can induce the generation of antibodies, any substance that can induce immune response. Antibody is a protective protein produced by the body in response to an antigen.
What are antigens and antibodies?
antigen-a toxin or other foreign substance that induces an immune response in the body, especially the production of antibodies.Antibodies-a blood protein produced in response to and counteracting a specific antigen. Antibodies combine chemically with substances that the body recognizes as alien, such as bacteria, viruses, and foreign substances in the blood.
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.
Why you have antibodies?
Antibodies are used to fight from foreign particles (pathogen generally) entering in the body of an individual.
What is A foreign protein in the blood that causes antibodies?
An antigen.
What are proteins that destroy foreign substances called?
An example of a protein that helps fight off infection is antibodies.
A protein produced by the body to combat foreign particles?
Antibody
What is the substance that stimulates the body to release antibodies?
An antigen stimulates the production of antibodies. These are either naturally acquired, like from mother to baby (via breast feeding and within the womb). Actively acquired, like you get chicken pox (varicella) and your body fights it off, but because your body has seen the virus it now knows how to fight it. There is also Passively Acquired immunities which are acheived via immunizations where a "dead" or small amount of virus is injected into your body so that your immune system can recognize it and know how to fight it if exposed. An antibody is a "memory cell" it identifies and kills the invader that it has seen before. HIV/ AIDS interrupts that process because it enters the nucleus and "takes over" the cells that identify the invaders... it's kind of a "smart virus".
