Which immune response involves antibodies?
Specific response
A test used to detect anti-Rickettsia antibodies in a patient is the?
Indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA) is commonly used to detect anti-Rickettsia antibodies in a patient. This test involves exposing the patient's serum to Rickettsia antigens and then using fluorescently labeled antibodies to detect any bound antibodies. Positive results indicate a past or current infection with Rickettsia bacteria.
How could an antibody cause a problem in a transplant?
Antibodies can cause rejection of the donor organ/ tissue within minutes if the person receiving the organ already had antibodies against the donor. Rejection of donated blood involves antibodies which form the basis of the immune response triggered by the donation. Rejection of a donated kindey or heart involves both antibodies and cell mediated immunity.
What is the difference between aggregation and agglutination?
Aggregation involves clumping of platelets while agglutination involves clumping of particles in the presence of antibodies.
How are antibodies made in the lab?
Antibodies are made in the lab through a process called hybridoma technology. This involves fusing a specific type of immune cell with a cancer cell to create a hybrid cell that can produce antibodies. These antibodies can then be harvested and used for various purposes, such as in diagnostic tests or as treatments for diseases.
Which process involves antibodies covering surface receptors on a virus or toxin molecule thereby disrupting their activity?
Neutralization
Why do you need to know that blood circulates the entire body?
You need to know because if your blood isn't circulation in a part of your body (Most commonly the leg and foot with humans). If you don't keep it circulation by doing something that involves moving that part of the body that has the blood not circulating, and just keep the body part that's blood isn't circulating like that for a long period of time, then you get this kind of really bad infection or virus.
What is similarities of active and passive immunity?
Both active and passive immunity provide protection against infections and diseases by enabling the body to recognize and respond to pathogens. They involve the immune system's production of antibodies, although active immunity results from the body's own immune response to an infection or vaccination, while passive immunity involves the transfer of antibodies from another source, such as maternal antibodies or intravenous immunoglobulin. Additionally, both types can help prevent illness and can be crucial in providing immediate or long-term protection.
What is a immunological response?
destruction of bacteria by lysozme
How are wounds treated?
Treatment of wounds involves stopping any bleeding, then cleaning and dressing the wound to prevent infection. Additional medical attention may be required if the effects of the wound have compromised the body's ability to function
What type of polio involves the infection of the brainstem and medulla is?
Bulbar polio involves the infection of the brainstem and medulla. It can lead to difficulty breathing, swallowing, and speaking due to paralysis of the muscles in these areas.
What are four types of immunity?
The four types of immunity are innate immunity, adaptive immunity, passive immunity, and active immunity. Innate immunity is the body's first line of defense, providing immediate but non-specific protection against pathogens. Adaptive immunity develops over time and involves a specific response to pathogens, including the production of antibodies. Passive immunity involves the transfer of antibodies from one individual to another, such as from mother to child, while active immunity refers to the immune system's response to a vaccine or infection, leading to long-lasting immunity.
