Antibodies are specialized proteins produced by the immune system that recognize and bind to specific antigens on the surface of microbes, such as bacteria and viruses. This binding can neutralize the microbes directly, preventing them from infecting cells, or mark them for destruction by other immune cells. Additionally, antibodies can activate the complement system, leading to further elimination of the pathogens. Overall, they play a crucial role in the body's defense against infections.

What is One way white blood cells protect the body from foreign microbes?
antibodies
What are 3 ways white blood cells act on invasion of bacteria?
1: Can squeeze it and kill it.2: It produces antibodies that makes chemicals.3: It swallows (engulf) microbes.(answered by a 11 year old.)
What are protective responses to encountering food-borne microbes?
Protective responses can include vomiting, diarrhea, fever, and inflammation in the digestive tract. These responses help the body expel the harmful microbes and prevent them from causing further harm. Additionally, the immune system may produce antibodies to target and neutralize the invading microbes.
What are microbes and what are the 3 types?
Microbes are microscopic organisms that can be found everywhere in the environment. The three main types of microbes are bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Each type has unique characteristics and roles in ecosystems and for human health.
How Do antibodies kill microbes inside the human body?
Antibodies (also called Immunoglobulins (Ig)) are special proteins. They are found in the blood or other body fluids of vertebrates. The immune system uses antibodies to identify foreign objects, such as bacteria and viruses. These objects are then neutralized, so that they can no longer cause problems and diseases.When the antibody finds the germ it's after, it "knows" because of its special antigen. If the antibody can insert its antigen into the germ, it will go to work either destroying it by blocking it from "germ food" (cells), or calling white blood cells to eat it, thereby killing whatever it was after.
These white blood cells produce antibodies to fight microbes?
B Lymphocytes
What is One way white blood cells protect the body from foreign microbes?
antibodies
What happens when you are infected by the same microbes more than once?
you would probably have antibodies against the microbes and would probably be able to counter the infection.

When a person receives a flu vaccination does he develop active or passive immunity?
Active. Foreign microbes, or parts of microbes, are introduced to the body and the immune system reacts and produces antibodies. The antibodies were made in reaction to a foreign body introduced into the body, so it's active. Passive is when the antibodies are given directly to the person, such as from mother to child in pregnancy.
Why don't microbes become covered in antibodies as soon as they are found?
the blood cycles round the body one way so the antibodies have to go all the way around the body until they get to the microbe which could take a long time.
What are protective responses to encountering food-borne microbes?
Protective responses can include vomiting, diarrhea, fever, and inflammation in the digestive tract. These responses help the body expel the harmful microbes and prevent them from causing further harm. Additionally, the immune system may produce antibodies to target and neutralize the invading microbes.
What are different blood vessels and their functions?
red blood cells: go around your body white blood cells: are antibodies that destroy bacteria and microbes in your body
What is a protein produced by the body to combat foreign particles?
Antibodies are proteins released by a type of white blood cell called lymphocytes. They destroy hostile microbes in the body.

What did Edward Jenner find out about Vaccines?
That if the antibodies (the White blood cells) get a small dose of inactive or dead microbes the body prepares for the real thing sorry but it's hard to explain
