Clonal selection

https://en.wikipedia.org//w/index.php?title=Clonal_selection&oldid=827074857

where does clonal selection of t cells happen

The theory states that in a pre-existing group of lymphocytes ( specifically B cells ) , a specific antigen only activates ( i.e. selection ) its counter-specific cell so that particular cell is induced to multiply ( producing its clones ) for antibody production . This activation occurs in secondary lymphoid organs such as the spleen and the lymph nodes . In short the theory is an explanation of the mechanism for the generation of diversity of antibody specificity . The first experimental evidence came in 1958 , when Gustav Nossal and Joshua Lederberg showed that one B cell always produces only one antibody . The idea turned out to be the foundation of molecular immunology , especially in adaptive immunity .

His main goal is to drive in runs , although he is expected to score runs as well . Hitting cleanup requires an exceptional level of talent , and the ability to deliver big hits in important situations ( such as the bases loaded with two out ) .

Examples of proxies include ice cores , tree rings , sub-fossil pollen , boreholes , corals , lake and ocean sediments , and carbonate speleothems . The character of deposition or rate of growth of the proxies ' material has been influenced by the climatic conditions of the time in which they were laid down or grew . Chemical traces produced by climatic changes , such as quantities of particular isotopes , can be recovered from proxies . Some proxies , such as gas bubbles trapped in ice , enable traces of the ancient atmosphere to be recovered and measured directly to provide a history of fluctuations in the composition of the Earth 's atmosphere . To produce the most precise results , systematic cross-verification between proxy indicators is necessary for accuracy in readings and record - keeping .

Antibody

https://en.wikipedia.org//w/index.php?title=Antibody&oldid=818745533

what is the role of antibodies in the immune response

An antibody ( Ab ) , also known as an immunoglobulin ( Ig ) , is a large , Y - shaped protein produced mainly by plasma cells that is used by the immune system to neutralize pathogens such as pathogenic bacteria and viruses . The antibody recognizes a unique molecule of the pathogen , called an antigen , via the Fab 's variable region . Each tip of the `` Y '' of an antibody contains a paratope ( analogous to a lock ) that is specific for one particular epitope ( similarly analogous to a key ) on an antigen , allowing these two structures to bind together with precision . Using this binding mechanism , an antibody can tag a microbe or an infected cell for attack by other parts of the immune system , or can neutralize its target directly ( for example , by blocking a part of a microbe that is essential for its invasion and survival ) . Depending on the antigen , the binding may impede the biological process causing the disease or may activate macrophages to destroy the foreign substance . The ability of an antibody to communicate with the other components of the immune system is mediated via its Fc region ( located at the base of the `` Y '' ) , which contains a conserved glycosylation site involved in these interactions . The production of antibodies is the main function of the humoral immune system .
