Well, I'm not really sure exactly how but I am allergic. When I was younger i was prescribed a 600 MG dosage. The next morning i woke up with a rash all over me similar to the chicken pox. I went to the doctor and he said it was an allergic reaction. possibly my immune response had something to do with the rash all over my body.

What system does antigen belong to?

Antigen is a component of the immune system. It can trigger an immune response in the body by interacting with antibodies or immune cells.


The foreign or nonself proteins that trigger immune responses are called?

An immune response is based on the ability to distinguish molecules that are part of the body ("self") from those that are not ("nonself," or foreign). Such molecules that can elicit an immune response are called antigens.


Is sperm considered as antigen at the time of fertilization?

No, sperm is not considered an antigen at the time of fertilization. Antigens are substances that the immune system recognizes as foreign and can trigger an immune response. Sperm is a normal component of reproduction and does not elicit an immune response during fertilization.


What kind of antigens are small simple molecules?

Small simple molecules that can act as antigens are referred to as haptens. Haptens are typically not immunogenic by themselves but can elicit an immune response when they bind to larger carrier proteins or molecules, forming a complex that the immune system can recognize. Examples include drugs like penicillin, which can trigger allergic reactions when they bind to proteins in the body.


Can plasmids or bacteriophages be used in vaccines to fight bacteria?

Yes, plasmids can be used in DNA vaccines to fight bacteria by expressing antigens that trigger an immune response. Bacteriophages can also potentially be used in vaccines by delivering antigens or genes into host cells to stimulate an immune response against bacteria.

How are antibodies and antigens related in the immune response?

Antibodies are proteins produced by the immune system in response to antigens, which are foreign substances that trigger an immune response. Antibodies bind to antigens to help neutralize or eliminate them from the body, playing a crucial role in the immune response.

What is the purppose of a histamine?

Purpose of histamine is to trigger immune response for foreign bodies


Do antigens cause normal immune response?

No. Hapten is an antigen whic has low molecular weight and does not trigger immune system.


Where do antigens, the substances that trigger an immune response in the body, originate from?

Antigens, which trigger the immune response in the body, originate from foreign substances like bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens, as well as from the body's own cells that have been altered or damaged.


These are made from destroyed or fragmented pathogens containing a unique protein to trigger an immune response?

vaccines


How do urinary tract infection bacteria affect the body's immune response?

Urinary tract infection bacteria can trigger the body's immune response, leading to inflammation and activation of immune cells to fight the infection. This response can cause symptoms such as pain, fever, and increased urination.


The foreign or nonself proteins that trigger immune responses are called?

An immune response is based on the ability to distinguish molecules that are part of the body ("self") from those that are not ("nonself," or foreign). Such molecules that can elicit an immune response are called antigens.


Why does penicillin allergy occur?

The beta-lactam ring of penicillin can react with the polypeptides' terminal amines on lysine residues. This results in the formation of an allergen. A person's immune response will be triggered when he or she is exposed to this allergen.


Is sperm considered as antigen at the time of fertilization?

No, sperm is not considered an antigen at the time of fertilization. Antigens are substances that the immune system recognizes as foreign and can trigger an immune response. Sperm is a normal component of reproduction and does not elicit an immune response during fertilization.


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 are substances such as viruses bacteria and fungi that can trigger an immune response?

Substances such as viruses, bacteria, and fungi that can trigger an immune response are known as pathogens. These microorganisms invade the body, leading to infections that activate the immune system to recognize and combat these foreign invaders. The immune response involves various cells and mechanisms, including antibodies and white blood cells, to eliminate the pathogens and protect the body. Additionally, the immune system can develop memory cells that help provide long-term immunity against future infections by the same pathogen.
