Antiserum (plural: antisera) is blood serum containing polyclonal antibodies. Antiserum is used to pass on passive immunity to many diseases. Passive antibody transfusion from a previous human Survivor is the only effective treatment for Ebola infection.
The most common use of antiserum in humans is as antitoxin or antivenin, to treat envenomation.
How it worksAntibodies in the antiserum bind the infectious agent or antigen. The immune system then recognizes foreign agents bound to antibodies and triggers a more robust immune response. The use of antiserum is particularly effective against pathogens which are capable of evading the immune system in the unstimulated state but which are not robust enough to evade the stimulated immune system. The existence of antibodies to the agent therefore depends on an initial "lucky survivor" whose immune system by chance discovered a counter agent to the pathogen, or a "host species" which carries the virus but does not suffer from its effects. Further stocks of antiserum can then be produced from the initial donor or from a donor organism that is inoculated with the pathogen and cured by some stock of preexisting antiserum.
Mutations in the pathogen can decrease or eliminate the effectiveness of antiserum.
An antiserum is a blood serum containing antibodies that can neutralize specific antigens or toxins. When introduced into an individual's body, the antibodies in the antiserum bind to the target antigen or toxin, marking them for destruction by the immune system. This can help treat infections or poisoning caused by the specific antigen or toxin.
It is a blood serum with antibodies that fight against antigens and protect against diseases.
An antiserum is a serum prepared from human or animal sources containing antigens specific for combatting an infectious disease.
The major advantage of antiserum is its ability to provide immediate immunity or treatment by containing pre-formed antibodies specific to a particular antigen. This allows for rapid immune response against pathogens or toxins.
The formula that relates work and power is: Power = Work / Time. Power is the rate at which work is done, which is the amount of work done divided by the time it takes to do that work.
The work that a simple machine does is called mechanical work. It refers to the amount of force applied over a distance to accomplish a task using the simple machine.
work output
Actually, the work done on a machine is referred to as mechanical work. It involves the application of force to move an object over a distance, such as pushing a button or turning a knob on a machine.
Antiserum A, Antiserum B, and Anti-Rh factor.

an antiserum is antibodies taken out of the blood stream i love yooh
blood type B
polyclonal antobody is the antibody produced for many or non specific antigens but antiserum is the antibody for a specific antigen

A vaccine protects against a future illness. An antiserum treats a current illness.
vaccine: a vaccine teaches your immune system how to fight an infectionantiserum :an antiserum either neutralise the infection or stimulate the immune system
Serum sickness is a type of delayed allergic response, appearing four to 10 days after exposure to some antibiotics or antiserum, the portion of serum that contains antibodies, such as gamma globulin.
No. Type O blood does not have the surface antigen that Type A antisera binds to. Only type A blood will clot when type A antisera is added.
