What else can I help you with?
What is Proteins released by plasma cells that mark antigens for destruction by phagocyte or complement?
antibodies
When antibodies bind antigens the clumping of antigens result from?
There are four reactions when antibodies react with antigens: agglutination, precipitation, neutralization or activation of complement. Agglutination is the clumping process that you are looking for.
What do plasma cells form from?
Plasma cells form from B cells that have been specifically activated by antigens. Upon activation, B cells differentiate into plasma cells which are responsible for producing and secreting antibodies to fight off pathogens.
What is the function of antibodies?
Function of Antibodies is to fight against the antigens to protect the body
Can antibodies bind to multiple antigens simultaneously?
Yes, antibodies can bind to multiple antigens simultaneously.
Which antibody and antigen combination match each blood type?
The blood type notation A Rh- indicates which antigens and antibodies are present in the blood. A indicates there are A antigens. Rh+ indicates there are Rh antigens. B antibodies. If there are A and Rh antigens but no B antigens, the antibodies in the blood plasma are B antibodies.
The functions of antibodies is to?
Function of antibodies is to neutralizes the antigens that enters.
How are antigens associated with antibodies?
Antibodies are produced in response to antigens. If you get infected with one of the 200 viruses that cause colds, these viruses are antigens and your body will respond by making antibodies. The antibodies will inactivate the virus. It usually takes 7-10 for the process to be complete.
How is antisera made?
Antisera is produced by injecting an animal (such as horses, rabbits, or goats) with specific antigens. The animal's immune system responds by producing antibodies against those antigens. The blood containing the desired antibodies is then collected and processed to obtain antisera, which contains a high concentration of specific antibodies for use in diagnostic or therapeutic applications.
What do antibodies work against?
Antigens
What is the difference between antibodies and antitoxins?
Antibodies attach to antigens preventing them from attacking cells in the body. Antitoxins attack antigens and destroy them
Do antibodies attack extracellular or intracellular antigens?
Antibodies primarily target extracellular antigens, which are found outside of cells. These antigens can be on the surface of pathogens or released into the extracellular environment. Intracellular antigens, located inside cells, are primarily targeted by T cells of the immune system.
