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.

Antibody diversity is due to what?
Well I'm not sure but I'll give the explanation which I think is correct. Antibodies are used to fight against invading pathogens in the body. The antibodies are produced by white blood cells (Lymphocytes). Due to the fact that there are a multitude of viruses - which can mutate with time - and that antibodies are only effective against one type of pathogen, then the body produces a variety of antibodies to fight each pathogen.
How do antibodies destroy pathogens?
binding to antigens on the pathogens.
The antibodies not only bind to antigens...but once bound with the antigens on the viruses they encounter. The viruses clump together and are destroyed by phagocytes.Thanks to...my BRILLIANT mind!! :PYOU ARE THE BEST!How do asbestos test effect your immune system?
