The T cell enters a state of anergy. In this case, the T cell becomes tolerant to that antigen and is unable to divide or to secrete cytokines. This state of unresponsiveness to antigen is called anergy.

What are the double signals in T cell activation?

T cells receive 3 signals during activation:1. Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) presenting an antigen (foreign peptide) to the T cell receptor2. The co-stimulatory signal (B7 on the dendritic cell binding to CD28 on the T cell)The first signal ensures that the T cell is specific for the antigen it has been presented.The T cell cannot be activated without also recieveing the second signal. This is how the T cell checks that it has been presented an antigen by a "professional" antigen presenting cell.3. Cytokines (signalling molecules) are released by the dendritic cell - these cause the differentiation of the T cell


Where does wireless transmit and receive signal from?

It has an access point which transmit signal to the client and receive.


Is T cell activation antigen specific?

Yes. The first signal that a T cell receives from an antigen presenting cell (dendritic cell) is MHC presenting an antigen (foreign peptide). This gives the T cell specificity to this antigen.

In indirect elisa the enzyme liked antibody will attach to?

In an indirect ELISA, the enzyme-linked antibody attaches to the target antigen that has been immobilized on the microplate. This allows for the detection of the antigen through the enzyme's activity, which produces a signal that indicates the presence of the target antigen in the sample.

What is high dose hook effect?

High Dose Hook Effect refers to measured levels of antigen displaying a significantly lower absorbance than the actual level present in a sample. This appears when a simultaneous ELISA assay is saturated by a very high concentration of sample antigen binding to all available sites on both the solid phase antibody as well as the detection antibody and thereby preventing the sandwich-formation. The antigen-saturated detection antibodies in solution will be washed off giving a falsely low signal. A "hook" is observed in the curve when data is plotted as a signal versus antigen concentration.
