What else can I help you with?
What defense target specific pathogens?
Lymphocytes
What four ways in which microorganisms can damage the body?
pathogens antigens
What are proteins that are pathogens called?
Proteins that are pathogens are called antigens. These antigens can trigger an immune response in the body, leading to the production of antibodies to fight off the pathogen.
What effect do pathogens have on the body?
your body produces antigens to fight against the pathogens and imune you agaist diseases.
The molecules on pathogens that enable the immune system to distinguish one kind of pathogen from another are called?
The molecules on pathogens that enable the immune system to distinguish one kind of pathogen from another are called antigens. Antibodies destroy pathogens by binding to the antigens on the pathogen.
What is the immune response that produces antibodies to kill pathogens and recognize them in the future?
Antigens
Which process provides immunity against antigens and pathogens in the body fluids?
phagocytosis
To what do antibodies attach on the pathogen?
Antibodies attach to specific antigens on the surface of pathogens.
What is the introduction of altered antigens to produce an immune response?
Introduction of altered antigens involves exposing the immune system to modified versions of antigens to trigger an immune response without causing disease. This approach can be used in vaccine development to stimulate immune memory and protection against specific pathogens or diseases. Altered antigens can include weakened or inactivated forms of pathogens, as well as genetically engineered antigens.
Why is an antigen important?
Antigens are important because they trigger responses to pathogens by the immune system. Without them, no prevention against pathogens would take place.
Process of immunity?
The process of immunity is to produce specific antibodies that bind to antigens on the surface of pathogens. =]
Is a virus an antigen?
Yes, a virus contains antigens that can trigger an immune response in the body. Antigens are molecules on the surface of pathogens (such as viruses) that are recognized by the immune system.
