What part of the body do the glycolipids and glycoproteins identify self and nonself?

Glycoproteins are proteins covalently attached to carbohydrates Glycolipids are lipids attached to carbohydrates. The antigen that determines blood types belongs to glycoproteins and glycolipids.

This organelle provides packaging for glycoproteins for secretion?
The Golgi body/apparatus provides secretary vesicles for glycoproteins.
What is the function og the Golgi body?
They convert proteins and lipid into glycol proteins and glyco lipids.They produce Lysosomes and cell wall materials except cellulose.They involve in material transport mainly.
What acts Like identification tags in the glycocalyx that enable the body to distinguish its own cells from foreign and diseased cells?
glycoproteins
The basic function of activated T cells is to identify?
Is to identify in blood or lymph. Or is to identify body cells that have not been invaded by pathogens. Or, to identify chemical mediators of immunity. Or, to identify pathogens in interstitial fluid. Or, to identify the activated macrophages.
What are the there main types of lipids?
Lipids are of following types 1; fats oils triglycerides 2; phospholipids 3; waxes 4 : terpenoids. 5 Spingolipids.
The ER sends proteins and lipids it makes to what to be modified?
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) sends proteins and lipids in membranous vesicles to the Golgi body (also known as the Golgi apparatus or the Golgi complex). The Golgi body looks like a stack of pita breads; it resembles the ER. There, the membranous vesicles containing proteins or lipids will fuse with one side of the Golgi body known as the cis face.Inside the Golgi body, proteins and lipids will have carbohydrate molecules added to them, forming glycoproteins (proteins with carbohydrates attached) and glycolipids (lipids with carbohydrates attached). After being modified, the glycoproteins and glycolipids will exit the Golgi body in membranous vesicles through the trans face (the side opposite the cisface).
This organelle provides packaging for glycoproteins for secretion?
The Golgi body/apparatus provides secretary vesicles for glycoproteins.
The foreign or nonself proteins that trigger immune responses are called?
An immune response is based on the ability to distinguish molecules that are part of the body ("self") from those that are not ("nonself," or foreign). Such molecules that can elicit an immune response are called antigens.
What is the function og the Golgi body?
They convert proteins and lipid into glycol proteins and glyco lipids.They produce Lysosomes and cell wall materials except cellulose.They involve in material transport mainly.
How do antigens benefit the immune system?
Antigens are: proteins, polysaccharides, glycoproteins, or glycolipids. They cause the lymph system to respond by producing antibodies. Each time the body is challenged by an antigen, the stronger the immune system becomes. An infant, at first, gets many colds but as she gets more of them, she will have more antibodies to fight off colds she has had before. She will have fewer colds because she has the antibodies for many of them now.
What are the functions of the Golgi body?
The Golgi is the "shipping department" of the cell as a factory.
Why does a patient's body is less likely to reject and allograft if it comes from a relative?
Because it is more likely that a relative will have the same MHCs (major histocompatibility complexes) on their cells. When immune cells patrol the body they will bind these complexes which tell them whether the cell they are binding is 'self" or "nonself". If they bind a MHC which they percieve as nonself, they may initate an immune response leading to rejection of the graft
What acts Like identification tags in the glycocalyx that enable the body to distinguish its own cells from foreign and diseased cells?
glycoproteins
Where do glycoprotein grow?
Glycoproteins are commonly found at the surface of cells. They can be found in gastrointestinal mucus secretions, connective tissues, and blood plasma. Glycoproteins are also used as lubricants and protective agents. They play a role in cell-cell interactions. There are three types of glycoproteins: N-linked glycoproteins, O-linked glycoproteins, and nonenzymatic glycosylated glycoproteins.
Where are fibroblasts located?
Fibroblasts are cells within a body that make collagen, glycoproteins, reticular and elastic fibers. They are mainly found in connective tissues.
