IMMUNITY INNATE AND ADAPTIVE

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Antigens cause the immune system to produce high molecular weight proteins called immunoglobulins or ____
A
antibodies
B
mineralcocortiocoids
C
antigens
D
pathogens
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -When the body senses foreign substances (called antigens), the immune system works to recognize the antigens and get rid of them. B lymphocytes are triggered to make antibodies (also called immunoglobulins). These proteins lock onto specific antigens.

Detailed explanation-2: -An antigen is any substance that causes your immune system to produce antibodies against it. This means your immune system does not recognize the substance, and is trying to fight it off.

Detailed explanation-3: -antibody, also called immunoglobulin, a protective protein produced by the immune system in response to the presence of a foreign substance, called an antigen. Antibodies recognize and latch onto antigens in order to remove them from the body.

Detailed explanation-4: -Immunoglobulins, also known as antibodies, are glycoprotein molecules produced by plasma cells (white blood cells). They act as a critical part of the immune response by specifically recognizing and binding to particular antigens, such as bacteria or viruses, and aiding in their destruction.

Detailed explanation-5: -An antibody is a protein produced by the body’s immune system when it detects harmful substances, called antigens. Examples of antigens include microorganisms (bacteria, fungi, parasites, and viruses) and chemicals.

Detailed explanation-6: -An antigen is a foreign substance that enters your body. This can include bacteria, viruses, fungi, allergens, venom and other various toxins. An antibody is a protein produced by your immune system to attack and fight off these antigens.
