The genus of mosquito that transmits malaria. Antibodies, known generally as immunoglobulins, are made and secreted by B-lymphocytes in response to stimulation by antigens. Each specific antibody binds only to the specific antigen that stimulated its production. It is able to do so through antigen processing. Macrophages are the major antigen processing cells others include B-lymphocytes.
Professional antigen presenting cells are dendritic cells, macrophages, and B cells.
Antibodies to the variable regions of the antibody-binding site. Anti-idiotypes contain the internal image of the tumor antigen and are capable of inducing antibody responses to the original antigen. Variations in the properties of antimicrobials within a class often arise as a result of the presence of different side chains of the molecule, which confer different patterns of pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic behavior on the molecule. These are often located on mobile genetic elements thereby enabling transmission from resistant to susceptible strains. A group of participants in a clinical trial, all of who receive the same treatment, intervention or placebo.
