complement
Complement.
It is a type of leukocyte, or white blood cell, but it has no ability to ingest or destroy invading bacteria. It activates other white blood cells or antibodies to react with the invading organism.
The bacteria has tiny, oddly-shaped molecules on it's surface, which are different for every type of bacteria, these are called antigens. When a special type of white blood cell, called a lymphocyte, realises an invading bacteria is in the bloodstream, it starts to make tiny connectors called antibodies. These antibodies fit the antigens on the bacteria's surface, and join many bacteria together. Once lots of bacteria have been joined together, another type of white blood cell, called a phagocyte, engulfs them, and it will usually take a few days for all the bacteria to be destroyed.
To produce antibodies, engulf antigens and produce antitoxin. They do this to protect the body of disease-causing bacteria and viruses.
they spot infected cells and kill them, basically.
An antigen is a foreign substance that provokes an immune response in the body. Examples of antigens are: bacteria, pollen grains and large carbohydrates.
Antigens and bacteria
Balsalazide-azo-bonded prodrug, activated by bacteria in the colon
All cells produce antigens, or cell surface markers. The only question is whether the antigens are self antigens which means they belong in the body or they're foreign antigens which means they are an invading bacteria or virus (or a cancerous cell).
It is a type of leukocyte, or white blood cell, but it has no ability to ingest or destroy invading bacteria. It activates other white blood cells or antibodies to react with the invading organism.
AnswerThe human body makes specific antibodies to specific antigens (ex. proteins on a bacterial membrane) that it encounters. Bacteria do not all have the same antigens.* antibodies react specifically with an antigen
yes they do
Yes, the skin is the most important nonspecific defense. This is because your oil and sweat glands are acidic.

Antigens- Each human being has his or her own unique cell surface antigens, as do to all other living things, including bacteria, virus, animals, and plants.
To produce antibodies, engulf antigens and produce antitoxin. They do this to protect the body of disease-causing bacteria and viruses.
The can produce antigens useful in making vaccines without the harmful parts of the original disease organism.
