What is the protein made in a response to a specific antigen called?
An antigen is a protein made in response to a specific antigen.
What is the specific protein made in response to a particular antigen?
The specific protein made in response to a particular antigen is called an antibody.
What is formed in the blood to fight invading antigens?
Antibody is a protein made in response to a specific antigen. The antibody attaches to the antigen and makes it useless.
What is a substance made in response to an antigen?
Antibodies
What is the substance made by the body in response to stimulation by an antigen?
substance
What is the first antibody made in response to an antigen?
IgM is the antibody first secreted during primary response
What is an antigen made of?
An antigen may be made of either a bacteria or a virus. An antigen refers to a toxic or a foreign substance that once in the body attracts and is bound to a respective and specific antibody.
An antibody reacts to what antigen?
An antibody reacts to the specific antigen it is made to attach to. It is like the lock and key model; it locks onto the antigen.
What occurs during a primary immune response and secondary immune response?
The secondary immune response occurs after an antigen that has already been encountered reappears. For example, if someone had recovered from the flu and later encounters the same strain of that virus, antibodies that were made specifically for that antigen will rise dramatically with almost no lag perod.
What is a non pathogen antigen?
Antigens are substances that incite your immune system to respond by producing antibodies. They include both foreign substances, such as pollen, and substances made by the body. Ones made by the body are non harmful.
What role do antigens play in creating the vaccine?
An antigen is a molecule in the body that triggers a specific immune response against itself, usually after attaching to the virus or bacteria it wants to respond to. Studying how these molecules work allow the production of vaccines that work as antigens.
What is an antigen made out of?
An antigen is typically made up of proteins, polysaccharides, or glycoproteins that are found on the surface of pathogens like bacteria, viruses, or fungi, as well as on the surfaces of cells. These molecules can also be derived from non-pathogenic substances, such as pollen or food proteins. Antigens are recognized by the immune system, specifically by antibodies or T-cell receptors, triggering an immune response. Their unique structures enable the immune system to distinguish between self and non-self components.
