An antigen stimulates the production of antibodies. These are either naturally acquired, like from mother to baby (via breast feeding and within the womb). Actively acquired, like you get chicken pox (varicella) and your body fights it off, but because your body has seen the virus it now knows how to fight it. There is also Passively Acquired immunities which are acheived via immunizations where a "dead" or small amount of virus is injected into your body so that your immune system can recognize it and know how to fight it if exposed. An antibody is a "memory cell" it identifies and kills the invader that it has seen before. HIV/ AIDS interrupts that process because it enters the nucleus and "takes over" the cells that identify the invaders... it's kind of a "smart virus".
What else can I help you with?
What stimulates a person's body to produce chemicals that destroy vireses or bacteria?
The best answer would be Antibodies; however, these do not chemically "attack" viruses or bacteria. More accurately, antibodies recognize various germs and allow the various cell types of your immune system to attack and destroy these germs directly. For more info on how this works see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptive_immune_system
What on a virus stimulates the body's production of antibodies?
An Antigen.
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.
What is a foreign chemical that stimulates the production of antibodies?
An antigen is a foreign chemical that stimulates the production of antibodies by the immune system. Antigens can be bacteria, viruses, toxins, or other substances that are recognized as foreign by the body.
What is a phatogen?
A substance that when introduced into the body stimulates the production of an antibody.
What substance is used to fight antibodies in the body?
It would be a bad idea to fight antibodies since that is what your body produces to trigger an immune response to an invading organism.
How often does the immune system produce antibodies?
When a foreign substance enters the body.
What class of drugs stimulates insulin release in the body and is used in Type II Diabetes?
Hypoglycemic agents stimulates insulin release in the body. and they manage patients with type II.
Is a vaccine an antibody?
No, antibodies are produced by your body as an immune response to an outside threat. A vaccine is--or used to be--just a weakened outside threat introduced internally so that your body may develop immunity to it. Pass on the mercury and aluminum, though, thanks.
Which class of antibodies causes allergies?
A class of antibodies that cause allergies are allergens. Allergens are a foreign substance that causes an allergic reaction in the body.
What do you call a substance that can be introduced to the body that stimulates the production of chemicals that destroy specific viruses?
vaccine
How to produce antibodies effectively in the human body?
To produce antibodies effectively in the human body, the immune system must be exposed to a foreign substance, such as a virus or bacteria. This triggers the production of specific antibodies by B cells, which are a type of white blood cell. The antibodies then target and neutralize the foreign substance, helping the body fight off infections. Regular exercise, a healthy diet, and proper hygiene can also support the immune system in producing antibodies effectively.
