Is a medicine that stimulates the body's immune response to make disease-fighting molecules to attack a specific pathogen?
antibiotics
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.
The molecules on pathogens that enable the immune system to distinguish one kind of pathogen from another are called?
The molecules on pathogens that enable the immune system to distinguish one kind of pathogen from another are called antigens. Antibodies destroy pathogens by binding to the antigens on the pathogen.
In transmission where is a locus where a pathogen can enter?
In medicine, the locus where a pathogen can enter would be any part of the body or surface that is moist. This includes the eyes, the nose and the mouth.
Explain the principles of Immunization against communicable diseases?
a weaker/dead form of the pathogen is introduced to allow the body to produce the correct antibodies and make a memory-B cell that stimulates a faster immune response if the same pathogen is encountered a second time, preventing a full scale infection and making you "immune" to that pathogen
What are pathogen-associated molecular patterns?
Pathogen-associated molecular patterns are a set of class-specific molecules constitutively expressed in pathogens. They may be made of proteins, carbohydrates, lipids and/or nucleic acid. They may be located inside of outside the pathogen.
What is viriod?
a plant pathogen composed of molecules of naked RNA only several hundred nucleotides long.
Substances that the body recognizes as foreign are called?
Antigens Antibodies neutralize these molecules.
Why is it good to use a vaccine to stimulate the immune system for homeostatis?
A vaccine stimulates the body to produce antibodies against a specific disease causing pathogen. This makes the body able to fight off that disease.
How does inoculation help our health?
Inoculation helps our health by introducing a small, weakened form of a pathogen to our immune system. This stimulates our body to produce antibodies that can fight off the specific pathogen, preparing our immune system to respond quickly and effectively if we are exposed to the real, potentially harmful pathogen in the future.
What type of proteins do the white blood cells look for in cell identification?
They look for pathogen specific or pathogen associated proteins presented by MHC molecules. However the also need interactions by co-receptors. These co-receptors are only expressed it the cells are exposed to pathogen associated molecular paterns. Ermm, that might not be the best answer but I hope you get the idea...
What role does the macrophage play in?
presents antigens of an engulfed pathogen in its class II MHC molecules to helper T cells, and releases IL-1
