What is the role of antigens in the immune response to chickenpox?
The antigens cause an immune response leading to production of antibodies thereby causing the host to be resistant to subsequent infection
What is the difference between antibodies and antigens?
Antigen is a substance that can induce the generation of antibodies, any substance that can induce immune response. Antibody is a protective protein produced by the body in response to an antigen.
What are antigens that cause as immune response?
Antigens are substances that trigger an immune response, typically because they are recognized as foreign by the immune system. They can be proteins, polysaccharides, or other molecules found on the surface of pathogens like bacteria, viruses, or fungi, as well as on pollen, toxins, and even transplanted tissues. When the immune system encounters an antigen, it produces specific antibodies and activates immune cells to eliminate the threat. This process is crucial for protecting the body against infections and diseases.
Antigens are chemical agents that fight cell destroying free radicals?
Antigens are actually molecules that trigger an immune response in the body by activating the production of antibodies. Free radicals are unstable molecules that can cause damage to cells and are often neutralized by antioxidants, not antigens.
What are antigens determining blood type carried on?
Antigens, by definition, cause the body to produce antibodies which act against them. You inherit certain antigens which are on your red blood cells. Sometimes these antigens are absent from your RBC. If you are type B, you have B antigens. Type A has A antigens, AB has AB antigens and type O has no antigens. If you are type AB, you can receive AB blood from some one else.
What is the name of a surface membrane molecule that causes an immune reaction?
Antigens are surface membrane molecules that cause an immune reaction.
Does antigens cause fermentation?
no it does not cause fermentation. What do you mean by an Antigen in the context of fermentation? Zymase is the enzyme used in fermentation, when this enzyme used as an Antigen to immumize an animal, it do produce antibody against it :)
Why do antigens and antibodies cause issues with the transfer of blood?
Because they are seen as pathogen invaders by the immune system.
How does the body's immune system work with a vaccine?
Vaccines take advantage of the body's immune system's way of fighting pathogens. When your body is exposed to some pathogen, which has various antigens on its surface, the immune system would start making antibody against those antigens. Normally, it would take sometime for your body to response with first exposure. Subsequence exposures would result in much more rapid response. Vaccines work by isolating these antigens and give it to you exposing the immune system. You should not get the disease, since only the antigens are given instead of the full pathogen. Sometimes, it may be difficult to completely separate the antigens, so they weaken to pathogens to the point that they would not cause the infection in healthy individuals. These are call live attenuated vaccines. Exam of these are MMR, Varicella Vaccines, Flu mist.
What type of immunization does not cause an immune response?
passive
Is H1N1 an antigen?
Yes, anything that triggers your immune system to have a response would be considered an antigen. H1N1 is a virus that causes influenza, and the detection of the presence of the virus will cause our immune systems to attack it. The immune system creates antibodies which can grab antigens to flag them as targets and disable them, which are then attacked and destroyed by other cells from the immune system. Once the body has developed antibodies to match the antigens of a particular invader , the pattern of those antibodies is stored by the immune system, and duplicates can be readily produced to grab that invader, if it or one like it, is detected again. That is what gives you immunity.
What may be the cause of immunoideficiency disorders?
The main cause of immune system disorder is expose of closed self antigens those were not recognised by body immune system's antibodies against these self antigens started to produced that combined with it and causes inflammations
