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.


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.


Why dont blood cells and antibodies from the immune system try to destroy the toxic prion proteins?

Prions are abnormally folded proteins that are not recognized as foreign by the immune system, so there is no immune response targeted against them. Additionally, prions are not associated with pathogens like bacteria or viruses that would trigger an immune response. As a result, the body does not mount an immune response to destroy the toxic prion proteins.

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.


Is a virus an antigen?

Yes, a virus contains antigens that can trigger an immune response in the body. Antigens are molecules on the surface of pathogens (such as viruses) that are recognized by the immune system.
