What is the function of white blood cells in the antigen-antibody response? A. report to infection site and ignore invaders, but clean up damaged cells B. report to infection site and protect healthy cells with a shell C. report to infection site and destroy healthy cells D. report to infection site, destroy invaders, and clean up damaged cells
@Love_Ranaa
I think its A, because white blood cells don't actually destroy invaders, but release a protein that macrophages detect and they destroy the antigens their selves Tell me if Im wrong :)
ok i will
I dont know. I'm seeing so many different answers
ill go with D
The answer would in fact be D. May I please have a medal?...
white blood cells only put antibodies/antigens (can't remember the difference) so that other cells can attack it
An antibody is a protein produced by a host to bind to, and thus inactivate, foreign particles. The particle is called the antigen. It is frequently but not always a protein. The binding of antibody to antigen is very specific, so that, if all goes well, the antibody binds to that specific antigen only. The part of the antigen molecule to which the antibody binds is called the epitope. You can read more about antibodies and the immune system in humans in a display on 'how we fight bacteria' in the Virtual Museum of Bacteria, http://www.bacteriamuseum.org/niches/hwfbacteria/immunesystem.shtml You'll find useful other web resources in there.
