Question

explain antibody formation resulting from both natural and artificial exposure to antigens

Answer 1

Antibodies, also called immunoglobulins, are proteins manufactured by the body that help fight against foreign substances called antigens. When the body is exposed to foreign objects the antibodies help to fight off the foreign objects also known as antigens.

Answer 2

When a said antigen enters the body it causes the body to react by making antibodies. Think of it as an action reaction kind of thing. Now what produces these antibodies is the immune system. The immune system is the bodies natural response to foreign objects. Think of it as being the Department of Defense of the body. It responds to anything that is a criminal (antigen). The hope for this is that it will kill off all of the antigens before they have a change to develop stronger bonds.

Answer 3

Antibody molecules are typically Y-shaped, with a binding site on each arm of the Y.

Answer 4

When the antibodies fight these off they literally attach to the antigen and stay there until they "inactivate" it.

Answer 8

What is best way to define immunity and vaccination?

Answer 9

Well they kind of work together because defined they are close.

While the vaccination is something that increases the immunity to something or works to counteract it. Let me describe just what it is. A vaccine is an injection of a killed microbe in order to stimulate the immune system against the microbe, thereby preventing disease.

An immunity is when you can't get sick from something because your body isn't affected by it. But with that being said there are various types of immunity because it can be acquired by exposure. Being immune means that your bodies immune system knows how to fight it off therefore you cannot get sick.

Answer 10

The mechanisms of immunity are essentially concerned with the body's ability to recognize and dispose of substances which it interprets as foreign and harmful to its well-being. When such a substance enters the body, complex chemical and mechanical activities are set into motion to defend and protect the body's cells and tissues.
