To which specific part of the pathogen do antibodies attach?

Antibodies attach to specific proteins on the surface of pathogens, called antigens, to help neutralize and eliminate them from the body.


Which of the following is NOT true about antibodies a. an antibody has more than one antigen binding site b. a pathogen can have different epitopes c. a pathogen makes more than one antigen?

c. a pathogen makes more than one antigen. Pathogens typically have multiple epitopes that can be recognized by antibodies, but they do not make more than one antigen. Each pathogen produces specific antigens that can trigger an immune response.


Antibodies work by attaching to the what making them useless?

Antibodies attach to antigens, which are foreign substances such as viruses or bacteria, to make them harmless by marking them for destruction by the immune system.


How does protein contribute to the production of antibodies in the immune system?

Proteins play a crucial role in the production of antibodies in the immune system. Antibodies are a type of protein that help the immune system recognize and fight off harmful pathogens like bacteria and viruses. When the body detects an invader, specialized cells called B cells produce antibodies that specifically target and neutralize the pathogen. These antibodies are made up of protein molecules that bind to the surface of the pathogen, marking it for destruction by other immune cells. In this way, proteins are essential for the immune system's ability to defend the body against infections.


Immunity occurs when the system recognizes a foreign substance and responds by producing?

antibodies to neutralize or destroy it, creating a memory of the pathogen for future encounters. This memory allows the immune system to mount a quicker and more effective response upon subsequent exposures to the same pathogen.

Why do each pathogen need a specific antibody?

each pathogen has a antigene which the antibodies attach to so each pathogen needs a unique antibodie


What effect would antibodies have on a virus that causes the flu?

Antibodies can attach to and render a virus unable to attach to your cells to infect them. If you get a preventive vaccination, your antibodies will get to work on this project much sooner and you may feel no symptoms at all. More: Antibodies are specific to each particular virus or other pathogen, and play a key role in the immune response to invading virus infections. The antibodies are created to be the perfect shape to block the virus from being able to attach to the cells. If unable to attach to the cell, the virus can not reproduce. See related questions below for more information about the immune response to viral infections.


Why you have antibodies?

Antibodies are used to fight from foreign particles (pathogen generally) entering in the body of an individual.


How does an immune response starts after a macrophage attacts a pathogen?

The blood cells detect the pathogen The pathogens release toxins The blood cells make antibodies to fit the toxins ( they have to be a specific shape) The antibodies stick the bacteria together ready to be engulfed by he white blood cells The White blood cells remember the antibodies needed for that pathogen so they can make antibodies quicker next time the pathogen invades


Is producing antibodies a response by human white blood cells to pathogens?

Yes. Antibodies are made in response to pathogens. The antibodies are made by WBCs. These antibodies are a "match" to the pathogen. The next time the body is attacked by this pathogen, the antibody response will be much faster and a person will recover much sooner.


What is the amount of antibodies in a person's blood in response to exposure to a pathogen?

titer


What is the difference between antigens and pathogen's?

An antigen is a body's system for creating antibodies to fight infection. A pathogen is an infectious agent (or germ).


How does Producing antibodies protect you against diseases?

antibodies are specific to a pathogen's antigen, it sticks the pathogen together with other pathogens, ruptures the organism or disables them. This stops you getting too many pathogens which give you diseases


How do you make antibodies for a specific pathogen?

That is the job of the B-cells, or B Lymphocytes.
