What is formed in blood to fight antigens?
Antibodies and /or anti - antigen.
What antigen will fight a bacterial infection of the respiratory system in a 6 year old?
antibodies
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.
What diseases are being treated with monoclonal antibodies?
Monoclonal antibodies are commonly used to fight a large number of diseases including cancer. The monoclonal antibodies fight the disease by targeting a certain antigen and recruiting the body's natural immune system to destroy the antigen-infected cells.
How are antibodies produced?
lymphocytes make antibodies by first getting the antigen marker from a pathogen. Then, using a 'toolkit' of various protein fragments, they use the marker as a 'blueprint' to make the antibody.
What do lymphocytes produce to fight disease?
Antibodies
Are antibodies organisms that produce infection?
No, antibodies are produced by your body to fight infection.
What is the difference between antigens and pathogen's?
An antigen is a body's system for creating antibodies to fight infection. A pathogen is an infectious agent (or germ).
What is the function of antibodies?
Function of Antibodies is to fight against the antigens to protect the body
These white blood cells produce antibodies to fight microbes?
B Lymphocytes
What is the difference between an antigen and pathogen?
An antigen is a substance that can trigger an immune response in the body, such as proteins on the surface of bacteria or viruses. A pathogen, on the other hand, is a type of antigen that can cause disease in the host organism by invading and damaging tissues. Not all antigens are pathogens, but all pathogens are antigens.
Which induces the production of a specific antibody?
Generally, the first body cell to encounter an antigen is a specific type of white blood cell called a macrophage. The macrophage partially digests the antigen and presents some of the antigens proteins on its surface. This is known as antigen presentation. Once the macrophage has presented the proteins, helper T cells recognize these proteins and search for a B cell that is able to produce the needed antibodies. The T cell chemically communicates with the B cell which, upon activation, undergoes a series of cell divisions. B plasma cells and B memory cells are produced. The B plasma cells produce antibodies needed to fight the antigen while the B memory cells circulate in the bloodstream and are available in case of future infection.
