Do white blood cells form antibodies which help you become immune to certain diseases?
the B-cell lymphocytes do produce antibodies.
How does producing antibodies protect us from disease?
Antibodies are specific. This means that they "match" the infesting disease (antigen). The antigen causes the immune system to make the antibodies which will attack the disease. Without the antibodeis, the body will not be able to fight off and destroy the disease.
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.
Are monoclonal antibodies use in immunotherapy?
Yes, Herceptin is a drug used in certain form of breast cancer which overexpresses the HER-2 protein, enabling angiogenesis and rapid tumour growth. Herceptin is the trade name for monoclonal antibodies against the HER-2 receptor which block these, limiting their function and improving patient prognosis. There are other examples to, monoclonal antibodies against IgE antibody to prevent type 1 hypersentivity e.g. peanut allergy.
How is the use of radioactivity isotopes in treating some forms of cancer related to certain properties of gamma radiation?
The gamma radiation is very penetrant in biological tissues.
How do antibodies travel to a certain area?
Antibodies travel to places through the blood.
What is specific immunity?
specificity the quality of having a certain action, as of affecting only certain organisms or tissues, or reacting only with certain substances, as antibodies with certain antigens (antigen specificity).
What Substance in the blood that destroys certain kinds of diseases?

What does seropositive mean and how is a person tested for HIV?
When a person contracts HIV, their body releases certain antibodies to fight that infection. As such, if those antibodies are found in a person, then that individual has HIV. These antibodies can be detected through a simple examination of oral fluids or a blood sample. If you are found to have these antibodies, then you are seropositive.
What is the name of the very minute biological substances that dissolve certain kind of bacteria?
Antibodies
Can antibodies be used up?
Antibodies are continuous being produced by activated B cells in your body as a response to your constant exposure to invaders. Antibodies are proteins and synthesized like proteins. Therefore, antibodies will be produced until you die. However, antibodies against a certain type of invaders may disappear when the invaders are eliminated. The ability of the body to respond to the same invaders when they come again lies in the preservation of the B cells that produced these antibodies, not the actual antibodies themselves.
How do antibodies protect your body against disease when exposed to a virus?
Each antibody is made to target certain antigens (disease or virus). They then would destroy them. The antibodies stay in the body so that if the antigen attacks again, the antibodies would already be there to destroy them.
