What is the relationship between antigens antibodies and antibiotics?

Antibiotics are used to treat specific diseases caused by bacteria like
Anthrax
Strep Throat
E. Coli
Salmonella
All which have lethal effect if immune to the antibiotic or ineffective treatment
I know I personally was struck with strep throat as a child. I also have a Autistic disorder known as Aspergers Syndrome which individuals have extreme interests and very high intelligence, my extreme interest is currently Bacteria and viruses as well as their effect and course of treatment. Hope this helps.

∙ 12y agoAntigens are proteins which are foreign to your body. Antibodies are the immune system's agents which attach themselves to antigens in order to attack the foreign protein and remove it from the body. Antibiotics are substances which combat pathogenic organisms or those which cause disease, such as penicillin.

Which statement best describes the relationship between antigens and antibodies?
Your question can not be answered since you give no choice.
What is the difference between antibodies and antitoxins?
Antibodies attach to antigens preventing them from attacking cells in the body. Antitoxins attack antigens and destroy them
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 is the relationship between IgE antibodies and the thyroid?
The relationship between IgE antibodies or immunoglobulin E and thyroid is that an increased level of these antibodies can lead to Grave's disease. It is believed that the immunoglobulin antibodies actually lead to this thyroid disorder.
What is the difference between direct and indirect ELISA?
Indirect is used to test for ANTIBODIES and direct is used to test for ANTIGENS. For example, Indirect ELISA is used to test for HIV antibodies.
What is the difference between antigens and pathogen's?
An antigen is a body's system for creating antibodies to fight infection. A pathogen is an infectious agent (or germ).
What is the difference between vaccine and antibodies?
Salman Khaliq Bajwa from PAF-KIET damigo88@live.com The difference between antibodies and vaccines are; 1. Antibodies are micro organisms in our body for our defense. Vaccines are diluted living or dead antigens. 2. Antibodies are natural. Vaccines are artificial, 3. Antibodies kill the bacteria, viruses and toxic substances in our body. Vaccines does not kill but it actually activates the antibodies in our body.
What are the purpose of agglutination test?
Agglutination serves to provide an idea of the presence of certain antibodies within the body. If specific antibodies against the antigen are present, the antibodies will combine with the antigens, coat the cells and cause the cells to join together, or agglutinate. It can be used to identify unknown antigens in diagnosing infections and to determine matching tissue types and blood groupings between two individuals.
What is involved in bloody typing and screening?
Blood typing and screening tests are based on the reaction between antigens and antibodies. An antigen can be anything that triggers the body's immune response.
Is there any relationship between malaria and antibiotics?
Yes,because if we got the malaria, we will use antibiotics to stop this kind of sick...
What is High Titer Low Avidity?
HTLA ANTIBODIES = High Titer Low AvidityA summary of these antibodies are as follows Not clinically significant, but serological reactions make them look like they areHigh Titer if the antibodies are titered. The titers are usually at least 1:64 and often will be over 1:1000Reactions are very weak and will break apart very readily due to the weak attraction between the antigens and antibodies (low avidity).These antibodies basically have a high titer but a very weak reaction. Some institutions actually score the strength of the antigen reaction in points which will allow them to differentiate some of the differences seen in various reactions.Score = strength of reaction given points or score4+ = 12 points3+ = 10 points2+ = 8 points1+ = 5 pointsneg = 0 pointsSpecific serologic characteristics of the HTLA antibodies are:IgGReact best in Coombs after 37oC incubationW+ to 1+ reactionsReact with most cells (antibodies to high-frequency antigens)Not clinically significant since they are not known to cause hemolytic disease of the newborn or hemolytic transfusion reactions. Since they are antibodies to high-frequency antigens they may mask clinically significant antibodies that are also in the serum.
What is the difference between blood types?
The red blood cells define the blood group you actually belong to. There are small markers known as antigens on the red cells surface, but they are so tiny that it cannot be viewed under a microscope. However, every person has different antigens but for identical twins. The antigens identify the blood types and are the key to match the transfusions as well that helps in avoiding serious complications. The blood group structure is defined as the ABO system. Another significant factor worth considering is the Rh system. All the blood groups have the possibility of having Rh antigens. Conversely, there are some who have it, while some do not have it. In case, the blood group belongs to Rh antigens, then they are Rh positive and a person having A blood group with Rh positive is recognized as A+. In case a person has A blood group with Rh negative, then it is A-. This is the same pattern followed for O, B or AB blood group as well. The Rh system duals the blood groups effectively so that the positive blood type does not get mixed with negative.
