Humor Do you know that humor can cause positive effects on our immune system? According to certain research‚ it actually activates our immune system‚ reduces our stress hormones and leads to muscle relaxation. Because of these effects‚ our immune system will be strengthen. As a result‚ humor lets our body feel so relaxed. Humor is a daily medicine that we should take because it keeps us young‚ happy and optimistic. According to Merriam Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary‚ humor means

Diseases caused by Metazoan Parasites Metazoan parasites are multicellular‚ macro in size with complex organs‚ direct or indirect life cycle‚ and evolved to have specialized morpho-adaptation for parasitism. Metazoans include a diverse group of parasites‚ viz.‚ myxozoans‚ helminths (monogeneans‚ digeneans‚ cestodes‚ nematodes and acanthocephalans)‚ crustaceans (copepods and branchiurans) and hirudineans. Myxozoans Myxozoans are coelozoic and histozoic metazoan parasites with microscopic body

Describe the four classes of chemical messengers. The human body contains chemical messengers. There are four groups of chemical messengers within the human body. Each chemical messenger are unique in their own way‚ having different functions throughout the body. The four groups are as follows in no specific order: Autocrine‚ paracrine‚ neurotransmitter‚ and endocrine. Neurotransmitter chemical messengers are let out by neurons where they are deposited into the synaptic cleft. Neurotransmitter

Outline and evaluate research into the effects of stress on the immune system The immune system helps fight off attacks from ‘foreign invaders’‚ the immune system is a network of cells‚ tissues and organs that help fight off attacks from viruses‚ parasites and micro organisms that enter our bodies that can cause infections and other problems. The idea that all the cells in our bodies have codes ‘tattooed’ onto them that are unique to each of us help us understand what the immune system does clearer

Jason Huang Antibody Variations AP Biology EO1 Explain how variations within a class of molecules allows for a greater diversity of functions. Focus on antibody variations. During an immune response‚ the white blood cells including T cells and B cells bind to the antigen. Antigens are chemicals released from invading pathogens or toxins. The binding of antigen to the antigen receptors of T cells or B cells help activate and secrete antibodies to bind to the antigen receptor protein on the

(Enzyme-Linked ImmunoSorbant Assay) ELISA is abbreviated term for Enzyme-Linked ImmunoSorbant Assay. This procedure is one of the most widely used methods in clinical immunology assays to detect the presence and absence of certain antigens or antibodies and also to quantify them when necessary. Quantification can be done in a range of microgram (µg) to nanogram (ng). The ELISA procedure takes advantage of the fact that most proteins will bind firmly to the surface of different kinds of plastic

lymphocytes with three individual monoclonal antibodies directed at the T4 glycoprotein blocked cell infection by LAV. This blocking effect was specific‚ as other monoclonal antibodies—such as antibody to histocompatibility locus antigen (HLA) class II or anti-T-cell natural killer (TNK) target—directed at other surface structures strongly expressed on activated cultured T4+ cells‚ did not prevent LAV infection. Direct virus neutralization by monoclonal antibodies was also ruled out. These results

these hybrid cells have got the ability to produce antibodies due to the B-lymphocyte genetic material and also capacity to divide indefinitely in the culture due to the presence of tumour cell or myeloma cells involved in the production of hybrid cells. Therefore‚ these hybrid cells produced from hybridoma technology are cultured in laboratory or passaged or sub cultured using mouse peritoneal cavity and these cells produces monoclonal antibodies‚ and this technology is called as hybridoma technology

These antibodies then begin to bind to antigens on the patients own cell surface. Once these are binded they are recognized as intrinsic or extrinsic. During this phase the cells can act as antigen presenting cells. Another form of Type 2 hypersensitivity is called antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity. (The reactions ran can take hours to a day.) Type 4 hypersensitivity which is an independent antibody and its reactions take 2 to 3 days. Unlike others
