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.

Why can just any antibody attach to any antigen?
They must match. Just as you can't wear any shoe but your own size.
What is an anti flag antibody?
an anti-flag antibody is an antibody that recognizes the flag epitope DYKDDDDK. A good webpage that explains all this is http://www-users.med.cornell.edu/~jawagne/FLAG-tag.html
How do you explain the Mechanism of antibody production?
Many different types of lympocytes exist. Each type recognizes one specific antigen and responds by dividing to form a clone. This clone then secretes a specific antibody agaist the antigen.
Can your immune system cause you to have a miscarriage?
Yes. The baby is actually recognized as foreign tissue by your body and it is only the substances secreted that prevent your body from rejecting it like it would a transplanted organ. Sometimes, these substances are not in high enough concentration to prevent an immune response. Diseases like lupus also cause problems with immune responses and pregnancies are often miscarried in those mothers.
What are some examples of antibodies?
Some examples of antibodies include IgA, IgM, IgG, and IgE. Antibodies are a form of proteins that make up the immune system of the body.

See I used to bite my nails uncontrolably and it was so hard for me to stop. But then one day i was putting nail polish on my nails and i messed up so I put some nail polish remover on my nails and then i went over to bite them and i really couldn't the nail polish remover tasted the worst i hated it so now my nails are nice and long.
How soon will hiv antibody show up during testing?
The time between when someone is infected with the virus until the can test positive is called the "window period." This amount of time can vary depending on the sensitivity of the test being performed. The most widely used oral HIV test in the United States (OraQuick Advance) has a window period of up to 90 days.
Antibodies are primarily effective against rather than?
effective against soluble antigens than the insoluble antigen
What is the difference between hormones and antibodies?
Hormones influence how your body reacts, behaves and develops while antibodies protect the body from infection and some deseases.
The oral HSV1 and genital HSV2 arise from two different strains. Therefore, even if you break out from (or are a carrier of) HSV1 it does not protect you from HSV2 -- or vice versa.
The best protection for both partners is to limit contact when each of you have an outbreak of either HSV1 or HSV2, and to use condoms to prevent genital transmission of HSV2 to the unaffected partner. Kissing remains one of the most common ways to transmit HVS1 and unprotected sex or intercourse during an outbreak, especially with weeping sores, is one of the most common ways to infect a partner with HSV2.
Nephrohydrosis (synonym Hydronephrosis) Term popular in <nephrology> Abnormal enlargement of a kidney, may occur secondary to acute ureteral obstruction (kidney stone) or in chronic kidney disease.
What is beneficial when the immune system is working properly?
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.

You have antibody at 1 milligram per ml need to use at 3 microgram per ml?
There are 1000ug in a milligram. Therefore 3/1000 is the dilution you need. Decide on the volume, divide by 1000, multiply by 3 and that is the volume of stock that you need.
