What else can I help you with?
Where do antigens, the substances that trigger an immune response in the body, originate from?
Antigens, which trigger the immune response in the body, originate from foreign substances like bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens, as well as from the body's own cells that have been altered or damaged.
What are substances made from weakened viruses or bacteria?
Inoculations (for immunization) are substances made from weakened viruses or bacteria.
What can cause your body to produce antibodies?
Your body can produce antibodies in response to infections by bacteria, viruses, or other pathogens. It can also produce antibodies in response to allergens or foreign substances introduced into the body, such as through vaccinations or blood transfusions. Autoimmune disorders can also trigger the production of antibodies that mistakenly target healthy cells or tissues.
What are antiebodies?
a blood protein produced in responce to counteracting and specific antigen.antibodies combine chemically with substance that the body recognizes as allien,such as bacteria,viruses and foreign substances in the blood.
What organelle functions to destroy substances such as bacteria and viruses engulfed by phagocytes?
Lysosone
What do you call a substances that contains weakened bacteria or viruses that is injected to produce immunity to a disease?
These substances are called "vaccines".
What are antigens and antibodies?
antigen-a toxin or other foreign substance that induces an immune response in the body, especially the production of antibodies.Antibodies-a blood protein produced in response to and counteracting a specific antigen. Antibodies combine chemically with substances that the body recognizes as alien, such as bacteria, viruses, and foreign substances in the blood.
How does the immune response to viruses differ from the immune response to bacteria?
It happens as our body do not have anti-bodies [ means the copy of the virus to make a trap for it ], but in bacterial it is done just by destroying as the bacteria do not conquer a tissue or a cell to make their army.
What is a dead or altered viruses or bacteria that are used to stimulate the body to be on alert are called?
Dead or altered viruses or bacteria that are used to stimulate the body's immune response are called vaccines. Vaccines contain weakened or inactivated forms of the pathogen, or certain proteins or subunits of the pathogen, to trigger an immune response without causing the disease. This allows the body to recognize and fight the pathogen more effectively if encountered in the future.
What is the best definition for antibodies?
Antibodies are proteins produced by the immune system in response to the presence of foreign substances, like viruses or bacteria. They help to identify and neutralize these invaders by binding to specific molecules on their surface.
How do human diseases caused by bacteria and disease caused by viruses react to antibiotics?
Viruses ALL ignore antibiotics, Bacterial infections vary in their response depending on the sensitivity of the bacteria to the specific antibiotic.
Is an infection the presence of an allergen in or on the body?
No, an infection is the invasion and multiplication of harmful microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, or fungi, in the body. Allergens, on the other hand, are substances that can trigger an allergic reaction in certain individuals.
