What is Medical field that studies the immune system?
Immunology, which could also be included within the cardiovascular system, nervous system, and endocrine system.
How are cytotoxic T lymphocytes produced?
CD8+ T cells divide and differentiate into cytotoxic T lymphocytes.
What are the normal levels of Immunoglobulin A in children?
The normal levels of Immunoglobulin A in children is traditionally 500 mg/Dl
An antibody is a type of protein. The body's immune system produces antibodies when it detects harmful substances, called antigens. Examples of antigens include microorganisms (such as as bacteria, fungi, parasites, and viruses) and chemicals.
Antibodies are also be produced when the immune system mistakenly considers healthy tissue a harmful substance. See: Autoimmune disorders
Each type of antibody is unique and defends the body against one specific type of antigen.
Can someone be amune to poision?
With some poisons such as snake venom, you can build up a tolerance to it and some people are more sensitive to some than others. What will kill one person will only make another sick. No one is going to be completely immune to poison.
Is it true that gloves can protect against needle stick injuries?
No, a needle can go through a glove very easily depending on the glove, but when doctors wear gloves it protects them from any little cuts they may have on themselves or from bacteria a person may have from coming in contact with the sensitive skin on their hands. If the doctor did not wear gloves and was cleaning an area on your body that was infected he would have a great chance of catching it, but the sterilized gloves protect him. Same with masks and the scrubs they wear.
No. If anything, your immune system was more "revved up" because of the flu!
How does Pathogenic bacteria or viruses or fungi can enter the body through?
What does 1.73m2 mean polyclonal gamma globulin?
refers to standarized body surace area used to normalize all variabes for an average 70 kg man.
How do T cells and B cells of your immune system respond to pathogens?
T cells's
primary task is to activate B cells and killer T cells. The B cells
searchfor antigens matching its receptors. If it finds such antigen it connects to it, and inside the B cell a triggering signal is set off.
Is it safe to touch a corpse with uncovered hands?
That depends. With the recently dead it would be as safe as touching a living body. If the body is obviously decomposing I would not recommend it (Who would?). At say, an open casket funeral, there shouldn't be a problem as it is usually predicted that somebody might want to touch it so is made safe.
As long as you have a healthy immune system you should be fine (You might want to wash your hands, especially before eating (but I'm sure you do that anyway))
Are antigens produced by t lymphocytes?
Maybe, but it depends on what t lymphocytes you are referring to. With t lymphocytes there are 3 factors to take note on; one being the Upper T Lymphocyte, another being the Lower T Lymphocyte, and finally the Slanted hexagonal T Lymphocyte. If you are referring to the Upper T then yes you are correct, if you are referring to the Lower T then yes you are correct again, however if you are referring to the Slanted Hexagonal T then once again you are correct. But, if you are believing this answer then I must tell you that none of these T lymphocytes exist. This brings me to my next point, yes Antigens are produced by T lymphocytes, which in turn makes the B cell create antibodies. So there you have it.

How do you boost horse immune system?
Beta-glucans are a polysaccharide extracted from various fungi including yeast. They are shown to stimulate immune system cells and thereby when taken as a supplement, can help to protect animals and humans from infections.
Monoclonal-- Genetically engineered antibodies specific for one antigen.
