The immune system has
special organs like cells, microbes, antibodies, spleen, lymphatic system,
white blood cells, bone marrow and thymus. With these, as soon as the foreign particles
enter human body, microbes prevent it from spreading into other body parts and
making you feel sick. The above said parts actively take part in fighting any
bodily infections. Also, the immune system is able to maintain track records of
infections that it has dealt with. This way, it can easily identify and destroy
it when it enters human body. In the case of infections like common cold and
flu, the body easily identifies the particles as soon as it enters human body.
Other than this, the antibodies also help fight toxins that microbes produce.
The antibodies mark the antigens for destruction before it can spread to other
body parts and have some adverse results.
What is the importance of immunoglobulin therapy?
Immunoglobulin therapy
is also known as antibodies that can treat people who are unable to fight
diseases from foreign particles. In case your antibodies are unable to function
well, this therapy is a suitable alternative. Until recent times, the
immunoglobulins are given through drip in human blood veins. As of now, doctors
can deliver it directly in to the fatty acid under the upper layer of the skin.
This is the subcutaneous infusion therapy. Some medical centers are offering
this therapy recently considering the immune condition of the patient.
Antibodies and antigen
Antigens are types of
proteins that are found in human body on pathogen’s surface and the antigens
are unique to that particular pathogen. For instance, the antigen for whooping
cough bacterium will be different for TB bacterium.
So, body produces
antibodies when antigens enter human body. The antibodies are present in the
shape of Y that is present to fight the unwanted antigens that enter the body. Also,
each antibody has unique body shape and not all antibodies work towards
fighting for the same antigens.
White blood cells
produce antitoxins that destroy the toxins of some bacteria. Therefore, proper
functioning of the immune system is of utmost importance as it helps in proper
functioning of human body. Due to this, when buying an antibody kit, you should
be careful about its application. Even if you are confused about which one to
buy, it is better to seek help from doctors for better suggestions. Knowing
about the Antibody-antibodies
polyclonals and monoclonal
in the human body shall help.
The monoclonal
antibodies can produce suitable shield against different body infections. It
also helps in selection of the right clones that will fight against one
particular antigen. Even human body can produce polyclonal antibodies rapidly.
