Are antibodies proteins that catalyze chemical reactions without being physically altered?
No, antibodies are not proteins that catalyze chemical reactions without being physically altered. Antibodies are proteins produced by the immune system to help recognize and neutralize foreign substances, such as bacteria and viruses. Enzymes are proteins that catalyze chemical reactions without being physically altered.
What is the name of the substance that coats B cells providing them with the ability to recognize foreign protein stimulating the antigen antibody reaction?
immunoglobulins
What do b cells make when they recognize antigns?
B cells make antibodies when they recognize antigens.
How do vacines work?
Vaccines work by exposing the immune system to a weakened or inactive form of a specific pathogen, stimulating the production of antibodies. These antibodies recognize and attack the pathogen if the individual is later exposed to the same disease, preventing infection or reducing its severity. This leads to the development of immunity against the disease without causing illness.
What does an antigen do?
An antigen is a substance that triggers an immune response in the body, by stimulating the production of antibodies. This response helps the body to recognize and destroy harmful pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, or foreign substances.
How do antibodies recognize antigens and initiate an immune response?
Antibodies recognize antigens by binding to specific molecules on their surface. This binding triggers a series of events that activate the immune response, including the production of more antibodies and the recruitment of immune cells to destroy the antigen.
Do B cells have antibodies on their surface?
Yes, B cells have antibodies on their surface that help them recognize and bind to specific antigens.
What are proteins that recognize specific proteins on bacteria?
Simple the answer is an Antibody!
How does a flu vaccine work to protect against the influenza virus?
A flu vaccine works by stimulating the body's immune system to produce antibodies that can recognize and fight off the influenza virus. When a person is vaccinated, their immune system is trained to recognize the virus and respond quickly if they are exposed to it in the future, helping to prevent infection or reduce the severity of symptoms.
What is the immune response that produces antibodies to kill pathogens and recognize them in the future?
Antigens
How do macrophages recognize infectious agents such as bacteria?
When antibodies bind to the epitopes of an antigen(bacteria) via antigen receptors, the antibodies present the bacteria to a macrophages in a form that they recognize the foreign substance and engulf them. This antibody-antigen "team work" is also known as opsonization
What does a vaccine produce?
When a vaccine is given to an animal, the animal's immune system produces antibodies to fight off the disease. This way, if the animal is ever infected by the disease it was vaccinated against, the animal will either not get sick or not get as sick.
