What else can I help you with?
Substance produced by the body that destroys the antigen?
Antibodies are proteins produced by the body's immune system that specifically target and destroy antigens, such as bacteria or viruses, by binding to them and marking them for destruction.
What helps destroy substances that carry antigens?
Antibodies
What are the human make chemical compounds that are restricted in use because they destroy ozone?
Chloro-Fluoro-Carbons (CFC's)
What is the difference between antibodies and antitoxins?
Antibodies attach to antigens preventing them from attacking cells in the body. Antitoxins attack antigens and destroy them
Lymphocytes that act directly on antigens to destroy them or produce chemicals that are toxic to them called?
Lymphocytes that act directly on antigens to destroy them or produce chemicals that are toxic to them are called T4 cells. They are also known as T helper cells.
A complement cell is capable of producing and secreting antibodies that are coded to destroy specific antigens?
No
What is the difference between antibodies and antigens?
Antigen is a substance that can induce the generation of antibodies, any substance that can induce immune response. Antibody is a protective protein produced by the body in response to an antigen.
3 ways that antibodies help destroy pathogens?
The antigen itself cannot destroy the pathogen but here are three ways it helps out:1. Antibodies can clump antigens together in order to enhance phagocytosis2. Antibodies can activate the cytotoxic cell responses (a chemical that destroys antibody-bound antigen).3. Antibodies can activate B lymphocytes, which results in the production on plasma and memory cells.
What is a specialized protein produced by the immune system that helps destroy disease-causing organisms?
Antibodies are specialized proteins produced by the immune system that help recognize and neutralize harmful pathogens like bacteria and viruses. They bind to specific antigens on the surface of these microorganisms, marking them for destruction by other immune cells.
Do t cells or b cells release lymphotoxin?
Killer T cells (CTLs) use lymphotoxin to destroy antigens.
How do humans destroy the ozone?
The humans destroy ozone by usng CFCs. These are compounds which react with ozone to deplete it.
What protects the body from free antigens?
The immune system protects the body from free antigens. It does so through the production of antibodies that recognize and neutralize antigens, as well as through the activation of immune cells, such as T cells and natural killer cells, that can directly destroy cells infected with antigens. Additionally, the immune system has memory cells that can recognize and respond more quickly if the same antigen is encountered again in the future.
