Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Immune system is the defense system of the host body which comprise of many processes and structures that protects the body against any infection or disease. The nonspecific immunity of the body is also known as innate immunity. It provides general response towards the pathogen. The body mechanism that protect against specific infections is known as adaptive immunity. The response of the adaptive immunity is carried by the lymphocytes which recognize specific molecules of the foreign body.

The researcher decides to extract the antibody concentrated plasma and deliver it to a patient with HIV. What would you likely expect to see? a. The HIV patient will now have a fighting chance to eliminate HIV as the antibodies will not discriminate and bind to the same viral antigenic determinants. b.

The name tag might say: "Hello I'm... a deadly virus," or “Hello I'm... a healthy human cell." It is very important that an antigen for a deadly virus and a healthy human cell are very different, so that the immune system does not make a mistake and attack healthy human body cells. Which of the following molecules do you think would make good antigens for recognizing a pathogen? Justify your answer. You may choose more than one. 1) a cell wall protein 2) a piece of DNA inside a cell 3) a protein that is part of a flagella 4) a uniquely shaped protein that is part of a virus 5) a protein that is only made by prokaryotic cells 6) a protein that is only made by eukaryotic cellsarrow_forward
