Antibodies are protein molecules that attach to?
Antigens
What are molecules that are foreign to your body called.?
Antigens Antibodies neutralize these molecules.
Substances that the body recognizes as foreign are called?
Antigens Antibodies neutralize these molecules.
Which are specific molecules that are recognized by the body as foreign and to which antibodies bind known?
Those are known as antigens.
Which are specific molecules that are recognized by the body as foreign and to which antibodies bind known as?
Those are known as antigens.
What can occur when antigens combine with the antibodies to M. Leprae in the bloodstream?
When the antigens combine with the antibodies to M. Leprae in the bloodstream, a reaction called erythema nodosum leprosum may occur, resulting in new lesions and peripheral nerve damage.
Which antibody and antigen combination match each blood type?
The blood type notation A Rh- indicates which antigens and antibodies are present in the blood. A indicates there are A antigens. Rh+ indicates there are Rh antigens. B antibodies. If there are A and Rh antigens but no B antigens, the antibodies in the blood plasma are B antibodies.
Do antibodies attack extracellular or intracellular antigens?
Antibodies can attack both extracellular and intracellular antigens.
What does it mean when your blood is classified as code 96?
Code 96 donors have a particular combination of antigens that make their red cells rare. An antigen is a type of protein on the outer surface of the red blood cell. When a patient receives a transfusion of blood carrying the same antigens as his or her own blood, the donor red cells are "welcomed" into the body because they do not recognize the transfused cells are foreign. If the patient does not have the same antigens, they may develop antibodies to the antigens and their body may reject or react with future blood transfused with these antigens. Patients who are transfused very often can easily form antibodies (immune responses) to some red cell antigens. Once antibodies from, these patients require very precisely matched transfusions to prevent transfusion reactions and production of more antibodies.

Do antibodies have a carbohydrate structure?
No, antibodies are proteins. They are Y -shaped protein molecules produced by B cells as a primary immune defense against foreign bodies called antigens.
How are antigens associated with antibodies?
Antibodies are produced in response to antigens. If you get infected with one of the 200 viruses that cause colds, these viruses are antigens and your body will respond by making antibodies. The antibodies will inactivate the virus. It usually takes 7-10 for the process to be complete.
The functions of antibodies is to?
Function of antibodies is to neutralizes the antigens that enters.
