There are two types of immunity Humoral & Cell-mediated ; in humoral immunity plasma cells produces specific antibodies against a particular antigen that may invade the boby.

What genes are responsible for coding for self proteins?

Genes within the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) region, such as HLA genes in humans, code for self proteins responsible for presenting antigens to the immune system. These proteins play a crucial role in distinguishing between self and non-self cells and are essential for immune response regulation and self-tolerance.


What is The region of a neuron with voltage-gated sodium channels?

The region of a neuron with voltage-gated sodium channels is the axon hillock. This is where action potentials are initiated in response to incoming signals. Sodium channels open in response to depolarization, allowing sodium ions to flow into the neuron and trigger an action potential.


How is a promoter region different from an operator region?

A promoter region is different from an operator region in the sense that the operator region is where DNA binds, whereas the promoter region is the binding site for the RNA polymerase. These two different regions are essentially opposites.


What does the adrenal glad do to help the endocrin system?

There are two adrenal glands, one on top of each kidney, and they both have regions that release different hormones. The adrenal cortex, which is the bigger region, releases three different hormones: mineralocorticoids (affect mineral homeostasis), glucocorticoids (affect glucose homeostasis), and androgens (male sex hormones. The other region, the adrenal medulla, produces epinephrine and norepinephrine, which set the fight or flight response into motion and help the body resist stress.


The range of different organisms in an area are called what?

Biodiversity. It refers to the variety of living organisms within a specific region or ecosystem.

Why are immunoglobulins called as G and A and M?

In the 1960's when immunoglobulin nomenclture was finally decided, names were given based on their respective features. Hence lgG stands for gamma-globulin (gamma region of mobility), lgA for alpha-globulin (no immunoglobulin fraction was found in the alpha region) and lgM for macro-globulin (is a protein macroglobulin and is the largest globulin/antibody in the human body).


The Maximum spectral response of the germanium and silicon is in which region?

ultraviolet region


Why are there more peyer's patches in the ileum?

Peyer's patches are more numerous in the ileum because this region of the small intestine is crucial for immune surveillance of intestinal microbiota and antigens. The ileum is responsible for the absorption of nutrients and has a higher exposure to pathogens and antigens from the gut flora. The presence of these lymphoid tissues helps to mount an immune response and maintain intestinal homeostasis, making them vital for protecting against infections while supporting digestion and absorption.


The Maximum spectral response of the germanium and silicon is in the?

The maximum spectral response of germanium is in the infrared region, while the maximum spectral response of silicon is in the visible light region. Germanium has a broader spectral response range compared to silicon.


What is the max spectral response of Silicon?

its ultraviolet region


What bind with specific antigens in the antigen-antibody response?

The Fab portion of the antibody is what determines the idiotype. The Fab portion consists of both a heavy and light chain and is connected to the Fc region (isotype). Every B cell will express a different Fab structure and in a single B cell it will produce only the same Fab.


Why does each region have a different economy?

Because each region has different resources.


The Maximum spectral response of the germanium and silicon is in the X-ray region?

The maximum spectral response of germanium and silicon is in the infrared region, not the X-ray region. Both materials are commonly used in infrared sensing applications due to their sensitivity in this range of the electromagnetic spectrum. X-rays are typically detected using materials such as cadmium telluride or mercury cadmium telluride.


How are allergens and antigens similar?

Antibodies (Abs), T cell receptors (TCRs) and MHC molecules are all involved in the adaptive immune response. All 3 of these (Abs, TCRs and MHCs) have a range of diversity of structure and are composed of different chains. In most animals (including humans) antibodies are composed of 2 heavy chains and 2 light chains, each of which has constant and variable regions. This is very similar to a T cell receptor, which is composed of an α (alpha) and β (beta) chain - which have a contant and variable region. In both cases, it is the variable region(s) which determines what the antibody or the T cell receptor can bind to. This is very important for their function. T cell receptors (TCRs) and antibodies (Abs) are also similar in that their genes are combined and spliced in different ways to create diversity. It is important that both TCRs and Abs be able to recognise may different things. MHC molecules are responsible for presenting antigens to T cell receptors. Once again, they are composed of an α (alpha) and β (beta) chain, which are different depending on whether they are MHC I or MHC II.


What is my province and region?

To provide an accurate answer, I would need to know your location or at least the country you are in. Provinces and regions vary widely across different nations. Please share your location for a more specific response!

Do antibodies have a carbohydrate structure?

Yes, antibodies have a carbohydrate structure attached to the Fc region, which can affect their stability, solubility, and function. These carbohydrate structures play a role in protein folding, immune response modulation, and interaction with other molecules.
