Can an antibody recognize a wide range of microorganisms?
No, antibodies respond to very specific chemicals, usually associated with only a single microorganism.
What role in leukocyte in the immune response?
White blood cells, or leukocytes are cells of the immune system involved in defending the body against both infectious disease and foreign materials.
What is the condition in which antibodies protect a person from disease?
Antibodies protect people from disease because they are special defenders designed to fight a particular virus. Vaccines introduce small amounts of the virus into the body so it can build up antibodies against the disease.
Why do infants have high lymphocyte count?
iam not sure but i think becuase they are developing their immunity
What Essential oils do you use to boost immune systems?
echinacea.
Beta-glucans are a polysaccharide extracted from various fungi including yeast. They are not really herbs, but are a naturally-occurring compound. Beta-glucans are shown to stimulate immune system cells and thereby when taken as a supplement, can help to protect animals and humans from infections.
What is Serous fluid leaking from abdomen with no wound involved?
Possibly a fistula. See your doctor right away, as they can worsen quickly and may need surgical repair.
If you are ANA positive and have high globulin level in the blood does that mean you have Lupus?
Not necessarily. ANA is a sensitive test for SLE (97% of people with SLE will have a +ANA test) but it is not specific, since ANA can be present in a number of other diseases as well as in some people with no disease. Therefore a + ANA test should be followed up by anti-dsDNA and anti-Smith which are markers specific to lupus.
How important is protein in maintaining fluid or electrolyte and pH balance?
Proteins are organic compounds that are made of amino acids. Proteins are very important in maintaining fluid and PH Balance. High protein foods are acid forming by nature and their intake causes Acid Ph. Thus Balanced protein intake is essential for maintaining balanced PH of body. Protein is a part of all the body fluids. Its high intake can cause blockages in blood.
How does myasthenia gravis decrease the ability of a muscle to respond to stimulation?
In MG, immune cells create antibodies against the acetylcholine receptor. Antibodies are proteins normally involved in fighting infection. When these antibodies attach to the receptor, they prevent it from receiving acetylcholine
Occurs when the innate immune system is attempting to flush a specific area with phagocytes.?

Which body system protects the body againts invasion by pathogens?
The body system that is responsible for fighting pathogens is the lymphatic system. Another important contributor to this mechanism is the immune system, though it is not a system, per se, in terms of a system of the body, because it is made up of a combination of different systems and works to combat foreign invaders, like pathogens and microbes.
Does chewing tobacco weaken your immune system?
Depends. How much tobacco do you chew? If you chew some maybe every once and a while it's probably won't, but if you chew a whole lot, there's a better chance it will weaken your immune system.
How does the immune system fight a virus?
T cells compare non-self antigens to HLA (human leukocyte antigens) molecules with proteins the system already knows are its own. Your T-cells don't react to your HLA because of tolerance but are not tolerant to the HLA proteins of someone else. Thus, when there is a non-self system in your body (i.e.: after a transplant), your T-cells will begin a cell-mediated immune response against it, considering them foreign.
Who can't get the smallpox vaccine?
It's NOT for people with skin disorders, like eczema, and other immune disorders.
Explain why the immune system is less effective is a person with HIV?
The reason the immune system is less effective in a person with HIV is because the virus attacks the immune system and makes it weaker.
What is the Prozone hook effect?
Prozone effect or (high-dose) hook effect is the cause of a false negative or false low result which occur from an excess amount of antigen or antibody in a sample due to the inability of an analyte to bind to a receptor site.
