Antibodies are proteids the body produces when a disease occurs; they connect to a virus and support eliminating it. A monoclonal antibody is an antibody generated by cloning a selective white blood cell. Antibodies can be monoclonal or polyclonal. It is procured from a one-cell clone which is a single B cell clone. All subsequently…
What is the Simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV)? The Simian immunodeficiency virus is an HIV-like virus that can affect monkeys and apes and cause a disease similar to AIDS because HIV and SIV are closely related viruses. Researchers study SIV to explore HIV AIDS; however, SIV cannot infect humans and people with HIV cannot affect monkeys.…
Antibodies or immunoglobulins (Ig) are glycoproteins generated by differentiated B lymphocytes called plasma cells in response to susceptibility to antigens. The diversity of antibody responses to various target antigens is because of the gene recombination process in the hyper-variable areas of antibodies. Throughout the recombination technique in their genes, antibodies experience gene rearrangement that enables…
Inflammation is a natural defence mechanism against pathogens. It is correlated with many pathogenic disorders such as microbial and viral diseases, susceptibility to allergens, radiation and poisonous chemicals, autoimmune and chronic diseases, obesity, alcohol consumption, tobacco use, and a high-calorie diet. Nevertheless, when it goes into overdrive, sparked by determinants like inadequate diet and smoking,…
Pneumonia is an infection in one or both lungs caused by bacteria, viruses, and fungi. The disease causes inflammation in the air sacs in your lungs, termed as alveoli. The alveoli swell with fluid or pus, making it irritable and difficult to breathe. Health care providers often distinguish pneumonia based on where the disease is…
