What else can I help you with?
How can pathogens attack the body?
Our antibodies fight off the pathogens.
How can the human body prevent attack against pathogens?
Primary responseSkin, mucous and saliva entraps the pathogens and digests it.Secondary responsethe blood cells named "lymphocytes" will encounter the pathogens by releasing antibodies against to it.
What protein in b cells produce that attack foreign cells are?
The protein produced by B cells that attacks foreign cells is called antibodies or immunoglobulins. Antibodies specifically target and neutralize pathogens like bacteria and viruses.
Mounts an immune response by direct cell attack or via antibodies?
The immune response can mount a direct cell attack through cytotoxic T cells and natural killer cells, which can recognize and kill infected or abnormal cells. Alternatively, antibodies can be produced by B cells to target pathogens by neutralizing them or marking them for destruction by other immune cells. Both mechanisms work together to help the body fight off infections and maintain immune surveillance.
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.
White blood cells that specialize so they can attack specific microorganisms?
These cells are known as lymphocytes, which are a type of white blood cell that can recognize and target specific pathogens or microorganisms. There are two main types of lymphocytes: B cells, which produce antibodies to attack pathogens, and T cells, which directly destroy infected cells.
Can your body make antibodies for pathogens that your body has never been in contact with why or why not?
Our bodies do have the ability to make antibodies to something we never have had contact with. These are called natural antibodies. Natural antibodies are produced by B lymphocytes in the absence of external pathogen stimulation. With their ability to recognize between self and non-self, they comprise an important first-line defense. Any problem with this formation of natural antibodies, the body would begin to attack itself. This is seen in autoimmune disorders.
What is the use of lymphocyte?
it is for immunity T-cell is for attack and B-cell is for anti body
Is a compliment protein a chemical barrier?
No, a compliment protein is not a chemical barrier. Complement proteins are part of the innate immune system and help to enhance the effectiveness of antibodies in targeting pathogens. They are involved in forming membrane attack complexes that can directly lyse or neutralize pathogens.
Which is a specific immune response?
making antibodies
How does your body kill pathogens that get inside us?
The body's immune system fights pathogens through multiple mechanisms. These can include engulfing and digesting pathogens (phagocytosis), producing antibodies to neutralize pathogens, releasing signaling molecules to recruit other immune cells, and triggering a process called apoptosis in infected cells to prevent the spread of the infection.
Antibodies target and attack specific what?
Antiggens
