Which immune response involves antibodies?
Specific response
A test used to detect anti-Rickettsia antibodies in a patient is the?
Indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA) is commonly used to detect anti-Rickettsia antibodies in a patient. This test involves exposing the patient's serum to Rickettsia antigens and then using fluorescently labeled antibodies to detect any bound antibodies. Positive results indicate a past or current infection with Rickettsia bacteria.
How could an antibody cause a problem in a transplant?
Antibodies can cause rejection of the donor organ/ tissue within minutes if the person receiving the organ already had antibodies against the donor. Rejection of donated blood involves antibodies which form the basis of the immune response triggered by the donation. Rejection of a donated kindey or heart involves both antibodies and cell mediated immunity.
What is the difference between aggregation and agglutination?
Aggregation involves clumping of platelets while agglutination involves clumping of particles in the presence of antibodies.
Which process involves antibodies covering surface receptors on a virus or toxin molecule thereby disrupting their activity?
Neutralization
Why do you need to know that blood circulates the entire body?
You need to know because if your blood isn't circulation in a part of your body (Most commonly the leg and foot with humans). If you don't keep it circulation by doing something that involves moving that part of the body that has the blood not circulating, and just keep the body part that's blood isn't circulating like that for a long period of time, then you get this kind of really bad infection or virus.
What is a immunological response?
destruction of bacteria by lysozme
How are wounds treated?
Treatment of wounds involves stopping any bleeding, then cleaning and dressing the wound to prevent infection. Additional medical attention may be required if the effects of the wound have compromised the body's ability to function
What type of polio involves the infection of the brainstem and medulla is?
Bulbar polio involves the infection of the brainstem and medulla. It can lead to difficulty breathing, swallowing, and speaking due to paralysis of the muscles in these areas.
What is the controlling function?
The controlling function involves the evaluation activities that managers must perform
Which drug abuse involves most risk of infection with hiv?
Needle sharing for drug use involves the most direct risk of infection with HIV. People exchanging sex for drugs are also at high risk.
A method of tagging antibodies with a fluorescent dye to detect or localize antigen-antibody combinations is known as?
Immunofluorescence staining. This technique involves binding a fluorescent dye to antibodies, which can then be used to detect and visualize specific antigens in a sample.
