What else can I help you with?
Cells that remember how to make antibodies for a specific pathogen?
this is called memory B cells
To what do antibodies attach on the pathogen?
Antibodies attach to specific antigens on the surface of pathogens.
How does an immune response starts after a macrophage attacts a pathogen?
The blood cells detect the pathogen The pathogens release toxins The blood cells make antibodies to fit the toxins ( they have to be a specific shape) The antibodies stick the bacteria together ready to be engulfed by he white blood cells The White blood cells remember the antibodies needed for that pathogen so they can make antibodies quicker next time the pathogen invades
Why do each pathogen need a specific antibody?
each pathogen has a antigene which the antibodies attach to so each pathogen needs a unique antibodie
To which specific part of the pathogen do antibodies attach?
Antibodies attach to specific proteins on the surface of pathogens, called antigens, to help neutralize and eliminate them from the body.
How does Producing antibodies protect you against diseases?
antibodies are specific to a pathogen's antigen, it sticks the pathogen together with other pathogens, ruptures the organism or disables them. This stops you getting too many pathogens which give you diseases
Can your body make antibodies for pathogen that you have never been in contact with?
It varies, but most likely not.
What does your body make when you are immunised?
When you are immunized, your body produces antibodies and memory cells to fight off specific pathogens like bacteria or viruses. These antibodies help your immune system recognize and respond more effectively if you are exposed to the pathogen again in the future.
What is positive antibodies?
Positive antibodies indicate that the immune system has produced antibodies in response to a specific infection or vaccination. These antibodies help protect the body against future encounters with the same pathogen by recognizing and neutralizing it.
How does being injected with a inactive form of pathogen make you immune to the disease?
The inactive form of the pathogen still has the antigens (protein markers) specific to that pathogen on their surface. Antibodies locate the pathogen and create the correct form of antibody to combat it. As it is inactive the person does not suffer the effects of this pathogen, but when an active form is encountered later the immune system is quicker to respond due to the fact that it now recognises those antigens.
Why you have antibodies?
Antibodies are used to fight from foreign particles (pathogen generally) entering in the body of an individual.
Which of the following is NOT true about antibodies a. an antibody has more than one antigen binding site b. a pathogen can have different epitopes c. a pathogen makes more than one antigen?
c. a pathogen makes more than one antigen. Pathogens typically have multiple epitopes that can be recognized by antibodies, but they do not make more than one antigen. Each pathogen produces specific antigens that can trigger an immune response.
