Secret Fighters 2 The human body was designed to protect itself against harmful germs in order to stay alive. The most vital mechanism aiding that process would be the immune system. The human immune system is working non-stop‚ everyday‚ and every second. There are millions of germs‚ bacteria‚ microbes‚ viruses‚ toxins‚ and parasites that float around us day by day; and the fact that we are not affected by most of them is because our immune system keeps these microscopic particles from invading

functions of antibodies Antibodies also known as immunoglobulins are secreted by plasma cells and B lymphocytes from the bone marrow and the lymphoid organs. The effector functions of antibodies are determined by the constant regions of the heavy chain. There are five different isotypes known in mammals to perform different roles and to direct a specific immune response for the antigen encountered. The binding of antigens to the variable regions will trigger the effector functions. Antibodies are only

against diseases. One example given was the polio vaccine‚ which has decreased the numbers of cases from the thousands to now hundreds (Beckham‚ M. 2005). How do they work? Normally the human body neutralizes the effects of outside invaders with antibodies or lymphocytes that prevent a person from getting sick. The problem is that our immune system can take a few days to a week before triggering an immune response‚ and when a person encounters a serious infectious disease‚ it can be life threatening
