Immune System

specificity

the quality of having a certain action, as of affecting only certain organisms or tissues, or reacting only with certain substances, as antibodies with certain antigens (antigen specificity).

Helper T cells are required to activate both the B cells that produce antibodies, and the T cytotoxic cells that attack and destroy pathogenic cells

Phagocytes eat anything that seems foreign or harmful to the body (bacteria, virus, infected cells) in a process called phagocytosis.

Macrophages are actually a type of phagocyte. They consume large amounts (or clumps) of foreign invaders. They are pretty slow in performing phagocytosis.

Lymphocytes are a type of white blood cell that is found in the blood of vertebrates. There are a few different types of lymphocytes, but the main three are known as T cells, B cells, and NK cells.

Diseases that directly affect the immune system are known as Autoimmune Diseases, including Rheumatoid Arthritis, Multiple Sclerosis, and Chron's disease. Other conditions that impact the body's ability to fight off disease include Diabetes, AIDS, and Hepatitis C.

Yes, a fever does help fight pathogens. This is why doctors don't suggest taking medicine for a fever, unless it is really high because the fever is being caused by the body trying to fight off pathogens.

Hey hey

Asbestosis affects the lungs and it can also indirectly affect the heart by causing heart failure.

Hope this helped

People with fibromyalgia have low levels of seritonin, so they have a difficult time fighting sicknesses. They also get very little sleep and/or suffer from depression, so that also makes them succeptible to sickness (no energy).

First, do not bite your nails, it prevents them from growing out properly.

Second, keep them healthy, by cutting or filing them just a bit to make them healthy!

You can used geletin, which also causes your hair to grow faster.

Cuticle oil also helps keep your nails looking fine.

There are many remedies that have helped me but the best one is, water, olive oil, and salt. Mix them all together and dip your nails in for 15 min. It might not work for everyone

Your skin could have been irritated by a chemical, or it could be simple dryness. Wash them and put on a bit of cream or lanolin. Even a touch of petroleum jelly will form a barrier to drying. If they itch, it may be cold air. If the redness persists more than a day or two, or if other symptoms develop, seek the opinion of a medical practitioner. They get the big bucks to make the call in situations like this. If we had a "complete" medical diagnostic data base and asked what causes red hands, we'd be overwhelmed at the number of responses.

Antibodies are part of the body's immune response to foreign bodies, or antigens. A foreign body can be anything from cat dander to a flu virus. For every antigen, there is a unique antibody, or immunoglobulin, that has a site to bind to a specific antigen, which is why flu shots and other inoculations can work--once the immune system recognizes the bacteria or virus and creates an antibody, it remembers how to make those antibodies and can thus quarantine the pathogens and destroy them before they can spread and infect the body.

Thus, without exposure to a herpes virus, either I or II, there would not be an appreciative amount of antibodies specific to herpes, or herpes antibodies, as the question phrases it. However, everyone has some of these antibodies, since the process of developing specific antibodies involves random mutations of genetic information to deduce what is needed to bind to the specific antigen. For clinical and diagnosing purposes, there exists is a cut-off point that determines if you have herpes or not.

If you want to see what your antibody level is, there is a really neat site that has some great information as well as some testing options. For Herpes I, or Oral Herpes or HSV 1, check out the first link in related links. For Herpes II, or Genital Herpes or HSV 2, check out the second link.

I was someone who got sick constantly. I would be down and out for almost a month each year. That's not only no fun physically, but it really hurt me with my job and missing work too. I had a friend who introduced me to a product and said it was especially formulated for strengthening the immune system. It was something completely new...not a vitamin, mineral, herb, or fruit. I was very skeptical at first, but he showed me a ton of scientific studies and so I gave it a try. I've been taking it faithfully for 3 years now and it is incredible! I went 2 years without being sick at all and last year it was for only a couple of days instead a month like in the past. You can find all sorts of information on the product, along with the studies, and even order it at: www.4lifetransferfactorstore.com I highly recommend it. Good luck!

You get a fever because it is one way of klling an invading pathogen. The normal body temperature is a good environment for the disease to replicate and increase. The body responds by increasing the temperature in order to make the pathogens les able to multiply and may even kill them .This is why temperature may keep on increasing until it kills the sufferer.

At least you have to get your blood clotting time measured. You can ask the lab to check your International Normalised Ratio (INR). The count should be in the range of 2.0-3.0, the target is 2.5. If applicable, you can do it monthly.

it produces antibodies that circulate in body fluids.

When donating blood, you do not give enough blood to significantly reduce the number of white blood cells in your system. Those that are lost are quickly replaced in a healthy individual. And individuals with already weakened immune systems are not permitted to give blood.

Lymphocytes and some mononuclear phagocytes can recirculate between lymphoid and non-lymphoid tissues. This helps in allowing lymphocytes to be exposed to the antigens which they recognise and is, therefore, valuable in the distribution of effector cells of the immune response to the sites where they are needed

Air contamination working hard

If the immune system is underactive, the body has less power to fight off harmful substances such as bacteria and viruses.

Immune system starts rejecting the organ of the recipient because the Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) which is present on the surface of the transplanted organ of the donor does not match with the recipient.

That is the job of the B-cells, or B Lymphocytes.

There are many diseases that destroy the immune system. The most widely-spread immune disease is the AIDS virus affecting huge populations in third world countries especially in the continent of Africa.
