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.

How valuable is monoclonal antibody production?
Monoclonal antibody production can be seen as very valuable as it creates an insight into diagnosing in vitro anomalies. Monoclonal antibodies are derived from cloned cells and allow people to study in depth anomalies that occur in humans and in reproduction.
Explain How a vaccine leads to a person developing to a pathogen?
A vaccine consists of a very weak dose of a specific bacterium or virus. The patient's body develops anti-bodies in defense of the invading microbes. Theseremain active in the body in case of a real infection.
Can morphine breakdown your immune system?
Not by itself. However, people addicted to morphine and other opiates (as well as to drugs in general) often fail to practice good health and nutrition habits. That will undermine the immune system with time. Additionally, drug injection itself has the potential to introduce virus and bacteria that can cause systemic infections ranging from phlebitis (inflammation of the circulatory system) to HIV, the ultimate immune destroyer.
Where do undifferentiated lymphocytes migrate to?
B lymphocytes develop in the bone marrow. They then chill out in the blood until they meet an antigen that they are encoded and they become activated. However they need to be checked by another immune cell before to present auto-antigen. Once activated they then go to the spleen.

What is the job of lymphocyte?
A lymphocyte is a lymphatic cell cyte means cell and lymph refers to the lymphatic system A lymphocyte has functions associated with the immune system and are located in the lymph notes and vessels throughout the body.
What chemicals can suppress the immune system after an organ transplant?
Calcineurin inhibitors: Ciclosporin & Tacrolimus
Anti-proliferatives: Azathioprine & Mycophenolic acid
mTOR inhibitors: Sirolimus & Everolimus
Antibodies:
Monoclonal anti-IL-2Rα receptor antibodies: Basiliximab & Daclizumab
Polyclonal anti-T-cell antibodies: Anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) & Anti-lymphocyte globulin (ALG)
Monoclonal anti-CD20 antibodies: Rituximab
Corticosteroids: Prednisolone & Hydrocortisone
However, it takes someone specializing in this field and a battery of blood tests to determine which drug is best for any particular transplant patient.
What adaptation allows you to work or play outside in hot weather with out overheating?
The ability to perspire.
What is the effect of prolonged stress on the immune systems?
The body is affected and loses its ability to adapt to the situation and fatigue may set in
Heamolytic disease of the newborn
or Erythroblastosis Fetalis
Can a body piercing prevent you from getting a job?
better get examined by doctor. could be anything from infections or even symptoms of cancer.
Normal CBC results vary a bit by laboratory standards, gender of patient for some tests, and location, such as high altitude may influence the normal range for a region for red blood cells. A CBC reports white blood cells (WBC) usually 4500-10,000, red blood cells and the related hematocrit (HCT) and hemoglobin (HB), and platellet count, usually 150,000-300,000. There is also a breakdown of types of WBC and their relative presence in percentages, so that the various types add up to 100%.
HCT levels are higher in men typically, but overall range is about 37-47, and HB 12-16. Neutrophils (WBC) are typically between 55-70%, lymphocytes 25-45%, bands (stabs) under 4%, eosinophils under 5%, monocytes under 10%. These are general guidelines, as these normal values vary by lab. Interpretation requires looking at the whole picture, not just one element.
What is the difference between tbs buffer-tbst buffer and corresponding function of them?
Tween 20.
In TBST you add 0.05-0.1/ Tween 20.
i have no idea. maybe you were just itching to find a book
Fiber and water, but the specific vitamins vary by species.
Do b lymphocytes contain mitochondria?
Yes, all cells contain mitochondria which is needed for energy production from sugar (the energy is in the form of ATP). All cells need ATP to keep ion pumps working, and a variety of other tasks. This applies even to "resting" cells that are not activated and simply waiting for something to stimulate them. B lymphocytes are resting cells - they are waiting for a foreign protein from a virus or bacteria to enter the body,. When that happens, the B cell (and ONLY those that bind the foreign protein) wake up and begin to do many other things.
Resting cells have fewer mitochondria than active cells. So when the B cells are in their resting state, tehy have very few mitochondria. When they become activated, they have many more.
What is the difference between endocytosis and phagocytosis?
Phagocytosis is a kind of endocytosis. Endocytosis includes phagocytosis, pinocytosis and receptor-mediated endocytosis. These are just different ways to enter large molecules inside the cell.
What is GSR in relation to kidney function I was told mine is low.?
A low GSR ( glutathione reductase) in relation to kidney function indicates that an infection is possible. Low levels of GSR can indicate pseudomonas and staph infections.
The normal range for monocytes is two to eight percent. A high monocyte percent may indicate chronic inflammatory disease, parasitic infection, viral infection, leukemia, or tuberculosis.
Give the description of the organism that invades the body.?
