A protein produced by the body to combat foreign particles?
Antibody
Can any antibody work with any antigen?
Antibodies must be created for a specific antigen.
What is a protein thatacts against a specific antigen?
Antibody.
Antibody binding result in destruction of the antigen?
Antibodies bind the antigen, which then targets the antigen for elimination by innate mechanisms
What is the function of the plasma cell?
produce antibodies Plasma cells are antibody-manufacturing cells derived from B lymphocytes, following their activation by an antigen. They are responsible for humoral immunity - immunity conferred by antibodies present in the blood plasma. Plasma cells are capable of synthesising and secreting antibodies at a rate of 2000 molecules per second. Each cell will only synthesise and secrete one type of antibody. This antibody will bind specifically to the antigen that initially activated the precursor B lymphocyte. Plasma cells will synthesise and secrete antibody molecules over their short life span of 4 to 5 days. The secreted antibodies circulate in the blood or lymph and bind to their complementary antigen, thus marking them for destruction by other mechanisms.
What happens to the antibody levels when vacniated?
Vaccination introduces foreign antigen and the body responds by producing antibodies for that specific antigen. So overall levels of antibody may not considerably increase, but antibodies specific for that antigen will increase dramatically.
What is antigene and antibody?
An antigen is a substance that can invoke an immune response. While an antibody is the immune system's response to an antigen. Antibodies, act by directly neutralizing the antigen and/or bind to the antigen and signaling marcophages to phagocytose the antigen.
Which portion of the antibody binds to the antigen?
Epitope, it is the part of the antigen that is recognized and binds by the antibodies.
How are the terms antigen and antibody related?
An antigen are the germs that enter the body, and antibodies are the thing that the body produces to kill them.
What is the antibody of the antigen AB?
Type AB blood doed not contain any antibodies. I does have Antigens A and B.
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 the role of antibodies in the body response to infection?
Antibodies are basically all the same except for a tip that recognizes the corresponding antigen. When the antibody finds this antigen it locks on and targets the virus.
