Antibody (Anthromorphemics)

A protein manufactured by the body to neutralize or destroy an antigen.

Antibody (Anthropology)

A protein manufactured by the body to neutralize or destroy an antigen.

Antibody (Beauty)

A molecule produced by B cells that circulates in the bloodstream and neutralizes antigens (antigens are harmful invaders of the immune system).

Antibody (Biomediation)

Any of the body globulins that combine specifically with antigens and neutralize toxins, agglutinate bacteria or cells, and precipitate soluble antigens.

Antibody (Biotechnology)

A type of protein, produced by certain blood cells in mammals and birds, that specifically recognizes a foreign antigen.

Antibody (Bladder Cancer)

Any of a large number of proteins that are produced normally by specialized B cells after stimulation by an antigen and act specifically against the antigen in an immune response

Antibody (Blood Bank)

Immune system protein that can react with blood cell antigens and destroy transfused blood cells.

Antibody (Blood and Marrow Transplant)

Protein produced by the body, in response to a foreign substance, to fight the invading organism

Antibody (Bone Disorders)

A special protein produced by the body's immune system that recognizes and helps fight infectious agents and other foreign substances that invade the body.

Antibody (Breast Cancer)

Protein in the blood that defends against invading foreign agents, such as bacteria; invading agents contain certain chemical substances called antigens - each antibody works against a specific antigen.

Antibody (Cancer)

A substance formed by the body to help defend it against infection.
A type of protein made by certain white blood cells in response to a foreign substance (antigen). Each antibody can bind to only a specific antigen. The purpose of this binding is to help destroy the antigen. Antibodies can work in several ways, depending on the nature of the antigen. Some antibodies destroy antigens directly. Others make it easier for white blood cells to destroy the antigen.

Antibody (Clinical Trials)

A type of protein made by certain white blood cells in response to a foreign substance (antigen). Each antibody can bind to only a specific antigen. The purpose of this binding is to help destroy the antigen. Antibodies can work in several ways, depending on the nature of the antigen. Some antibodies destroy antigens directly. Others make it easier for white blood cells to destroy.

Antibody (Dairy Production)

Protein released in the blood that is generated in reaction to a foreign protein (antigen) that has entered the body. Antibodies produce immunity against certain micro-organisms or their toxins.

Antibody (Disease)

Molecules produced by B cells in response to specific proteins (antigens) carried by infected cells. Antibodies are directed against specific infections and help fight the disease.

Antibody (Female Health)

A protein molecule made by the immune system that recognizes and attacks a specific invading germ
For example, an antibody that attacks skin bacteria will not respond to an infection with syphilis.

Antibody (Fertility)

Substances that are produced by specialized cells in the body, called B cells. These substances attack foreign material that enters the body in order to prevent or fight off infection. Sometimes these substances may mistakenly recognize the body's organs or sperm as being foreign and attack them

Antibody (Food)

Otein produced by the immune system of humans and higher animals in response to the presence of a specific antigen.

Antibody (Food and Health)

Protein produced by the immune system of humans and higher animals in response to the presence of a specific antigen.

Antibody (Gaucher Disease)

A type of protein that is part of the immune system. Antibodies recognize and attach themselves to infectious organisms and foreign materials so they can be removed from the body.

Antibody (HIV and AIDs)

A natural substance made by B cells (which are a type of white blood cell) that is specifically designed to neutralize an invading organism. HIV has a much smaller effect on the body's ability to produce antibodies compared to its other effects on the immune system.

Antibody (Health)

Protein produced in a controlled manner by certain white blood cells (lymphocytes) to neutralize an antigen or foreign protein and fight disease, but whose uncontrolled production can cause illness; immunoglobulin

Antibody (Health and Beauty)

A molecule produced by B cells that circulates in the bloodstream and neutralizes antigens (antigens are harmful invaders of the immune system).

Antibody (Hepatitis B)

A protein molecule produced by the immune system in response to a foreign body, such as the hepatitis B virus. Antibodies can be produced in response to a vaccine or to a natural infection. They circulate in the blood to protect against future infections.

Antibody (Hepatitis C)

A three-lobed globulin containing two short and two long chains of protein, found in blood and other body fluids, that can be incited by the presence of antigen; it has a destructive influence on the antigen that stimulated its formation , thus producing immunity. B-cells bombard viral particles with antibodies until they find one which works, and then manufacture large quantities of the effective antibody and release it into the blood . They also retain a memory of these antibodies - if the virus ever attempts to reinfect the body, B-cells quickly manufacture the remembered antibody and wipe it out.

Antibody (Human Body)

a protein made by the body to fight foreign substances known as antigens. Each antigen has a specific antibody.

Antibody (Huntingtons Disease)

A protein that is produced when the immune system detects a substance that is believed to be foreign. Antibodies inhibit the activity of these substances.

Antibody (Immunization)

A protein found in the blood that is produced in response to foreign substances (e.g. bacteria or viruses) invading the body. Antibodies protect the body from disease by binding to these organisms and destroying them.

Antibody (Legal, Mesothelioma)

A protein in the blood that defends against foreign agents, such as bacteria. These agents contain certain substances called antigens. Each antibody works against a specific antigen. (See also antigen.)

Antibody (Medical)

A protein made by white blood cells that reacts with a specific foreign protein as part of the immune response

Antibody (Microbiology)

An immunoglobulin protein produced by B-lymphocytes of the immune system that binds to a specific antigen molecule. (See monoclonal antibodies, polyclonal antibodies.)

Antibody (Multiple Sclerosis)

Protein produced by certain cells of the immune system, which is produced in response to bacteria, viruses, and other types of foreign antigens. See Antigen.

Antibody (Naturopathic)

These are immunologic proteins, usually made from immunoglobulins, that are capable of binding to, and rendering inactive, foreign substances that have entered the skin envelope and have been deemed dangerous. They may be synthesized anew in the presence of a previously encountered substance (antigen); they may be present in small amounts at all times in the bloodstream; or they may be present in the tissues in a more primitive form designed to react to a broad spectrum of potential antigens. The latter may be responsible for some allergies.

Antibody (Nutrition)

A protein molecule made by the immune system that is designed to intercept and neutralize a specific invading organism or other foreign substance.

Antibody (Organ Transplant)

A protein produced by the body's immune system that recognizes and helps fight infections and other foreign substances in the body.

Antibody (Prostate Cancer)

Protein produced by the immune system as a defense against an invading or "foreign" material or substance (an antigen); for example, when you get a cold, your body produces antibodies to the cold virus

Antibody (Science)

A substance produced by the body that recognizes and binds to substances

Antibody (Sexually Transmitted Diseases)

A germ fighter. The immune system makes these when it sees a germ get inside the body. After they are made, they go into the blood. Then they find the germs and help kill them. For each different germ there is one special ANTIBODY that the immune system makes.

Antibody (Spine, Shoulder and Pelvis)

Special protein produced by the body's immune system that recognizes and helps fight infectious agents and other foreign substances that invade the body.

Antibody (Travel, Medicine)

A special protein produced by the body's immune system that recognizes and helps fight infectious agents and other foreign substances that invade the body.

Antibody (Veterinary)

Proteins produced by the immune system in response to antigens; an important component of the immune system.
