How do infections begin?

Infection with a pathogen does not necessarily lead to disease. Infection occurs when viruses, bacteria, or other microbes enter your body and begin to multiply.


Why are antibodies specific for certain antigens?

Antibodies binds to specific region in an antigen. Antibodies recognizes the part of an antigen and binds to specific region. Part of an antigen recognised by the antibody and binds is know as Antigenic Determinant or Epitope. Antibodies are generated by a sub set of immune cells called B cells. The main receptor for these cells are antibodies, although while they're bound to the surface of the B cell they are called B Cell Receptors (BCRs). While these cells are developing the BCR genes undergo a number of mutations, these mutations define the antigen binding region, which as described above, binds to the antigen. In fact there are so many possible ways the BCR genes can mutate that we can recognize a nearly infinite number of antigens. Then once your body has encountered an antigen the B cells that have BCRs that can react with the antigen begin to proliferate, and then they start excreting antibodies. After the infection is over, B cells will continue to refine they antigen specificity, that way when they encounter the infection again they can respond with much more specific antibodies and more quickly, this process is called affinity maturation.


What is the group of the diseases that occur when antibodies develop and begin to destroy the body's own cells?

These diseases are called autoimmune diseases. In these conditions, the immune system mistakenly attacks and damages the body's own tissues.


When is hepatitis c detectable in a blood test?

The blood test searches for antibodies a body may have created to fight the Hepatitis C virus. These antibodies usually begin to appear about 6 months post infection. A positive result means that you have been exposed to the virus and your body has developed antibodies to fight it. A negative result can mean one of two things, you have not been infected or alternatively, your body has not yet developed antibodies. If a negative result is found, your Dr may order a new test in a few months time.

Yes.


During which portion of the infection cycle shown in the diagram does the host begin to show symptoms of viral infection?

Symptoms of viral infection typically begin during the replication and spread phase of the infection cycle, when the virus has replicated enough to start causing damage to the host cells and triggering immune responses that lead to symptoms.


Is there a birth control pill that works immediately?

All of them begin working immediately if taken on the first day of your menstrual bleeding.


Can your body make antibodies for pathogens that your body has never been in contact with why or why not?

Our bodies do have the ability to make antibodies to something we never have had contact with. These are called natural antibodies. Natural antibodies are produced by B lymphocytes in the absence of external pathogen stimulation. With their ability to recognize between self and non-self, they comprise an important first-line defense. Any problem with this formation of natural antibodies, the body would begin to attack itself. This is seen in autoimmune disorders.


How can your dog have an infection of unknown origin?

An infection of unknown origin in a dog can occur when the source or specific bacteria causing the infection is not easily identified through regular diagnostic tests. It may require more advanced testing, such as cultures or biopsies, to determine the cause and appropriate treatment. In some cases, the infection may be due to rare or unusual pathogens that are not commonly detected.


Does a hidden viruses enter a cell and immediately begin to multiply?
