The special protein that attaches to a specific pathogen is called an antibody. Antibodies are produced by the immune system in response to antigens, which are unique molecules found on the surface of pathogens like bacteria and viruses. By binding to these antigens, antibodies help neutralize the pathogen and mark it for destruction by other immune cells. This specificity enables the immune system to effectively target and eliminate a wide variety of infectious agents.
What else can I help you with?
Diseases caused by pathogens are called?
N/aA pathogen by definition is a disease causing organism
How does injecting an inactive form of pathogen make a person immune?
the inactive form still has the antigens (protein markers) specific to that pathogen on the surface. the immune system develops specific responses to this pathogen when it is encountered after a vaccination. 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.
What is the protein that destroys pathogen?
antibody
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.
What inflammatory response slows the growth of pathogen by denaturing its protein?
Lymphocytes
Which pathogen is a packet of RNA or DNA with a protein coat?
That would be a virus.
Which of the following is a pathogen that is made of nucleic acid surrounded by protein?
A virus is a pathogen that is made of nucleic acid surrounded by protein. Viruses can infect living organisms and hijack their cellular machinery to replicate and spread.
What is a pathogen that is made of nucleic acid either RNA or DNA surrounded by protein?
Viruses are pathogens made from RNA or DNA and are encapsulated in a protein shell.
What is a pathogen that is made of nucleic acid (either RNA or DNA) surrounded by protein?
Viruses are pathogens made from RNA or DNA and are encapsulated in a protein shell.
What pathogen that is made of nucleic acid either rna or DNA surrounded by protein?
A virus is a pathogen made of nucleic acid (either RNA or DNA) surrounded by a protein coat. The nucleic acid contains the genetic material needed for the virus to replicate inside a host cell.
What does it means to be a pathogenic organism?
a pathogen is any thing (usualy a bacteria, virus, or protein based) that can cause a disease
How a vaccination prevents disease in the individual who receives a vaccination?
Vaccination works by introducing a harmless component of a pathogen, such as a protein or inactivated virus, into the body. This stimulates the immune system to recognize the pathogen and produce specific antibodies and memory cells without causing the disease. If the vaccinated individual later encounters the actual pathogen, their immune system can quickly respond by producing the necessary antibodies, effectively preventing infection or reducing the severity of the disease.
