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.

What is primary and secondary antibody?
primary antibody is what binds to the specific gene that you are interested in looking at; i.e. primary is rabbit-antibody bind to its proper epitope. and this is usually unconjugated with no label.
the secondary antibody is conjugated with some type of label, i.e., you will be able to see if your gene is being expressed. i.e., if primary from a rabbit, want goat-anti-rabbit, this way it can bind to the primary antibody.

Does the human body produce its own anti-histamine and anti-inflammatories?
When your body is invaded by any virus, bacteria or even a splinter, it will respond with general inflammatory response chemicals These chemicals include histamine (mostly secreted by basophils, white blood cells found in connective tissue), kinins, prostaglandins (PGs), and complement.
Vasodilation (dilation of blood vessels), stimulated by histamine and other chemicals, increases blood supply to the damaged area. This causes redness and an increase in local temperature. All of these responses are harmful to the pathogens causing the infection.
