How does the immune system respond to the black death?
Black Death causes our body to ave turmors. Also it causes bloody vomit fever and tumors.
When the immune system does not respond to a particular antigen?
Tolerance exists when the immune system does not respond to a particular antigen. All cells and tissues in the body contain antigens that normally do not stimulate an immune response. The immune system is said to exhibit tolerance toward such antigens.
A disorder in which immune system respond to a harmless particle is an?
An allergy.
What are the known causes of food allergies?
Food allergies occur when the immune system mounts an attack on certain proteins in certain foods. The substances in the food that trigger this immune-system response are called allergens. The immune system is a complex network of cells and molecules that help defend the body against foreign substances. When a properly functioning immune system detects a foreign substance, it responds to this threat by producing proteins called antibodies against the invaders. The antibodies will recognize and attack this foreign substance when they next encounter it. This "battle" is what causes the allergy symptoms.
What is a substance usually a protein that causes the formation of an antibody and reacts specifically with that antibody?
An antigen is any substance that causes your immune system to produce antibodies against it. An antigen may be a foreign substance from the environment. If you get a vaccine for rubella, the antibody formed will not act against mumps (another virus).
What is an immune system disease according to medical literature?

Which system relates to the body's defense mechanisms against infection disease and foreign substance?

What is an overreaction of the immune system to an invading particle or substance that is not normally harmful?
An overreaction of the immune system to an otherwise harmless substance is called an allergic reaction. In allergies, the immune system mistakenly identifies the harmless substance as a threat and produces an exaggerated response, leading to symptoms such as sneezing, itching, or hives.
How does the immune system react to epilepsy?
Epilepsy is not an infection or a virus or anything like that, so the immune system is not relevant to it. You cannot "catch" epilepsy from someone. So the immune system does not respond to epilepsy. There is nothing that it can do.
What are response cells?
Response cells are cells that respond to the immune system and react to diseases.
What does an antigen do?
An antigen is a substance that triggers an immune response in the body, by stimulating the production of antibodies. This response helps the body to recognize and destroy harmful pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, or foreign substances.
