to death in three to five days. If this disease is left untreated it can be extremely deadly. However‚ if it is treated it often leads a person to full recovery and no further infections return. Some ways to treat the Bubonic Plague include using antibodies such as tetracycline or sulfonamide; these are commonly used as a precaution for people that could potentially be exposed to the bacteria. Vaccines are also available‚ however they are mostly reserved for people with a high risk of getting this

by: Dipen Patel I. Objective: The purpose of the lab was to learn the procedure of performing an ELISA test to determine whether a particular antibody is present in a patient’s blood sample. ELISA is an abbreviation for “Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay." II. Introduction: The interaction of antigen and antibody outside the body can be used to determine if patient has an infectious or an autoimmune disease. In this particular exercise‚ the sample blood is collected from three

1. The mercenary camp was in the Motaba River Valley of Zaire was bombed to stop the virus from spreading. 2. No I would have removed all the people and disinfected all of them so the virus would stay in the forest and nobody would die. 3. Sam Daniels and his crew were sent out to the Motaba Valley because there was a level 4 virus. 4. The conditions in the Motaba valley were sad‚ smoky‚ poor and there were dead people everywhere. 5. The symptoms of the mystery disease at Motaba Valley

Anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis is a disease where antibodies produced by the body’s own immune system attack the NMDA receptors in the brain. What NMDA receptors are? NMDA receptors are electrical impulse controllers in the brain. Their function result in all autonomic functions such as; judgment‚ perception of reality‚ human interaction‚ the formation and retrieval of memory‚ and the control of unconscious activities What encephalitis does? Antibodies are an important part of the body’s defense

antigens (HLA) occurs (Fuggle & Martin‚ 2008). This article shows that 23% of renal patients that are awaiting transplantation are sensitized. More females than males have the HLA antigen. It also shows that first time transplants have less HLA antibodies than those that have had transplants in the past. Several approaches to transplant sensitized patients are presently used or have been used in the past. It is important to understand the different techniques but knowing why is just as important

memory B and memory T cells: the primary or the secondary immune response? Definitely the Secondary response. During the Primary immune response when the B cells and T cells are activated from an encounter with an antigen‚ plasma cells release antibodies to destroy the antigen. During the proliferation phase some of the cells produced stay dormant and act as memory cells of the antigen that was previously encountered. If the identical antigen is confronted again the memory cells enlarge and quickly

NEUTRALIZATION TEST FOR VIRUS Neutralization of a virus is defined as the loss of infectivity through reaction of the virus with specific antibody. Virus and serum are mixed under appropriate condition and then inoculated into cell culture‚ eggs or animals. The presence of unneutralized virus may be detected by reactions such as CPE‚ haemadsorption/haemagglutination‚ plaque formation‚ disease in animals. The loss of infectivity is bought about by interference by the bound Ab with any one of the

bacteria are found‚ neutrophils will surround the bacteria and kill it‚ often dying in the process. B. Monocytes- help with immune defense and rebuild damaged tissue. They also produce proteins for the body and antigens‚ which stimulate antibody production. C. Eosinophils- are white blood cells that protect the body by killing and swallowing bacteria. If the eosinophil cannot enlarge enough to engulf the bacteria‚ it will attach itself and kill the organism. D. Basophils-
