Immune System
This category is for questions about how our bodies identify and fight off disease, infection or pathogens through specialized cells, tissues and organs. The system that does this is called the immune system. It produces antibodies which recognize intruders and neutralizes potentially pathogenic organisms or substances.

Antigens are typically present on what?
Antigens are typically present on any cell, bacterium, or virus.
Why are pathogens frequently more fastidious than non-pathogens?
Pathogens fulfill their unique nutritional requirements by attacking red blood cells and thus cause disease. Unlike non-pathogens, which can meet their nutritional requirements by taking advantage of a wider range of sources.
How are monoclonal antibodies used in home pregnancy kits?
During pregnancy a hormone called HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin is release,this hormone is detected by a special chemical called Monoclonal antibodies what this monoclonal antibodies does is attaches itself to the to the HCG hormone forming a colored band which indicates whether or not a woman is pregnant.
What you do with toe nail and fingernails?
you can go to the nail shop and get them done our do them your self i do nails and i am good

not sure why this is in the immune system category but Igepal is the tradename for a series of poly(oxyethylene) alkyl ethers. Commonly used as a non-ionic surfactant, especially in micelle synthesis.
What is the location of the Temperate Rainforest?
The Temperate Rainforest spans through North American and other countries. Some of the locations are Northern California, Chile, and New Zealand.
What is Glutathione?
Glutathione is your body's master antioxidant. It is a small protein produced naturally in our cells when certain vital elements are present. It functions both as an antioxidant and an antitoxin and is a major defense system against illness and aging.
Our glutathione level actually indicates our state of health and can predict longevity. Although there are more than 60,000 published papers on the beneficial effects of glutathione replacement, it is still largely ignored by mainstream medicine.
In the near future the significance of glutathione will be widely recognized because it has the ability to boost the immune system and fight off the damage of free radicals on the cells.
Modern research has shown that individuals who have low levels of glutathione are susceptible to chronic illness. Decreased levels of glutathione can be brought about by continual stress upon the immune system. As we now know, a lowered immune system can bring about illness and disease. This is a ferocious cycle. While you need glutathione for a productive immune system, a weakened immune system hampers the production of glutathione.
Glutathione has been shown to decelerate down the aging process, detoxify and improve liver function, strengthen the immune system, and reduce the chances of developing cancer. Glutathione also works to help improve mental functions, increase energy, improve concentration, permit increased exercise, and improve heart and lung function - just to name a few.
As we age, and expose our bodies to stress, chemicals, pollutants, and average lifestyle habits, we begin to lose energy, vitality, mental alertness, and more. Most of us are aware that there are consequences for our actions; however the danger lies in the fallacy of believing that you will start taking better care of yourself tomorrow.
Dr. Robert H. Keller, one of the worlds leading scientists, dedicated 10 years of research and development in creating MaxGXL to assist the world in its quest for a higher level of health.
Out of all the biological processes that Dr. Keller could have focused his attention on, he chose to investigate a way to naturally optimize the bodys production of glutathione. Glutathione may not be well-known outside of medical circles, but your body relies on its function every single day.

Is fever an immune system response?
From what I know, yes, a fever is a result of the immune system's response to a medical condition that a person may have. In some cases it could be something very minor such as the flu, various skin inflammations like boils, infections such as malaria, cancers, and many more things. This is because of Hypothalamus, aka the bodies immediate nerve responses (from the brain) to these infections and diseases that are now in the body. This response is brought on by the body in order to combat the loss of heat that the body may have due to vasoconstriction (narrowing of arteries/veins), and the bodies over compensations due to the invading substance/disease/infection (whatever you want to call it.
What is the pathogen that causes tinea crursis?
The most common etiologic agents involved in tinea cruris areTrichophyton rubrum and Epidermophyton floccosum; less common are Trichophyton mentagrophytes and Trichophyton verrucosum.
transient means to cross over and pathogens are disease causing bacterium or virus so transient pathogens are those which can cause cross infection

How do you care for nail bed after losing nail?
To care for the nail bed after losing a nail, you should use medication or a bacterial fighting solution to cleanse the exposed area. Next, a bandaged should be wrapped around the nail bed to stem the bleeding and it should be regularly changed until it heals.
What is the pathogen of poliomyelitis?
The pathogen responsible for poliomyelitis is the poliovirus, which is a type of enterovirus. It primarily spreads through the fecal-oral route, and can infect the gastrointestinal tract before spreading to the nervous system, leading to paralysis in severe cases. Vaccination through the polio vaccine has been successful in reducing the incidence of polio worldwide.
