When the immune system does not respond to a particular antigen?
Tolerance exists when the immune system does not respond to a particular antigen. All cells and tissues in the body contain antigens that normally do not stimulate an immune response. The immune system is said to exhibit tolerance toward such antigens.
Do vaccines tear down the immune system?
No, there is no proof of that. It is thought that vaccines are good for the function of the immune system because they give it "exercise"; or at least they are not bad for the immune system. Some believe that if the immune system isn't triggered to respond to an antigen periodically, it will not function as well when a real antigen invades the body, in sort of a "use it or lose it" way. That may not actually happen in the immune system, but many body systems and parts do work that way.
What is the blood cell protein that elicits an immune reaction?
The protein that elicits an immune reaction in blood cells is called an antigen. Antigens are typically foreign substances that trigger an immune response when they are detected by the immune system.
What is the exact nature of antibodies?
antibodies are immune cells which are present in the immune system and it helps in , if any foregin particles or antigens enters in our body it kills that antigen or it binds to the antigen and forms the antigen _antibody complex
Why is hla called an antigen?
HLA (Human Leukocyte Antigen) is called an antigen because it is a protein on the surface of cells that plays a crucial role in the immune system. When the immune system recognizes foreign antigens, including those of HLA, it triggers an immune response to protect the body from pathogens.
What term describes foreign molcules that activate the immune system?
Antigen : NovaNet
Small piece of a pathogen that generates an immune response?
Antigen. An antigen is a small piece of a pathogen, such as a virus or bacteria, that triggers the immune system to produce antibodies to fight off the infection. This immune response helps protect the body from further exposure to the pathogen in the future.
