Why does a sperm doesn't act as foreign to induce immune response?

Sometimes the sperm does induce an immune response - some infertility problems are caused by women having anti-sperm antibodies which kill the sperm before it has the opportunity to fertilise the ova.

What are the factors of immunogenicity?
The immune system is what mounts an immune response. It complex and consists of various barriers: chemical barriers, inflammation, general cellular barriers, and the specific barriers like antibodies.
What term does not belong protein complete antigen nucleic acid hapten?
The term "hapten" does not belong in the list because it is not a complete antigen. Haptens are small molecules that can bind to antibodies, but they are unable to induce an immune response on their own.
What is the role of cAMP?
It is use as a secondary messenger in the cell to induce a cellular response.
What system involves plasma proteins activated when they contact a bacterial cell?
The complement system is made up of a large number of plasma proteins. They react with one another to opsonize pathogens and induce a series of inflammatory responses that help to fight infection.
Which induce artificial rain?
Silver Iodide
The administration of treated microorganisms or material from a pathogen into humans or animals to induce an immune response?
vaccine
What is the difference between antibodies and antigens?
Antigen is a substance that can induce the generation of antibodies, any substance that can induce immune response. Antibody is a protective protein produced by the body in response to an antigen.
Why does an inactivated vaccine induce only a humoral response?
T-cell memory is very important for long-lasting immunity, because T-cells control both humoral and cell mediated immunity.When the immune system recognizes a foreign antigen for the first time, an immune response is produced. When T cells are involved, immunological T-cell memory is produced. When the body encounters same antigen subsequently, a stronger immune response is produced. This is because of existing immunological memory against that antigen. Further antigenic stimulus increases the immune response. First antigenic stimulus is "priming"whereas subsequent stimuli are "booster". This is the principle of active immunization.
Why it is hard to treat autoimmune diseases?
Mainly because if you reduce overall immune response, there is a great risk for infection. It is still being worked out how to induce tolerance to self antigens
What would cause pain in the armpit after H1N1 shot?
It may be unrelated to the vaccination, but may also represent your body's normal immune response since the lymph glands can be swollen and sore from infections and the body's response to infections or to vaccines simulating infections to induce an immune response. If this lasts more than a few days, contact your health care professional to determine if this is something else or if there is anything to be done about it.

Macromolecules that induce the immune system to make certain responses?
antigens

What are the similarities and differences between Vaccines and Anti-Viral Drugs?
Influenza vaccines are designed to induce a protective immune response in the body against the viruses represented in the vaccine. andAntivirals are kind of drugs that treat people who have already been infected by virus.visit for more info at gapsos.com
How does immune function impact on the development of malignancy?
If you have a weak immune system, you have an increased risk of developing malignancy. Your immune system cannot fight the virus and so the virus has control and it able to invade the cervical cells and induce tumour growth.
Can salmonella cause ulcers in intestines?
Yes, it most certainly can. Salmonella can induce an acute inflammatory response, which can cause ulceration.
