What do antibodies actually do to a virus

Medicine
2 answers:
Dvinal [7]3 years ago

Answer:

It neutralizes the virus

Explanation:

When a vertebrate is infected with a virus, antibodies are produced against many epitopes on multiple virus proteins. A subset of these antibodies can block virus infection by a process that is called neutralization.

Antibodies can neutralize viral infectivity in a number of ways, as summarized in the illustration. They may interfere with virion binding to receptors, block uptake into cells, prevent uncoating of the genomes in endosomes, or cause aggregation of virus particles. Many enveloped viruses are lysed when antiviral antibodies and serum complement disrupt membranes.

Are the triage decisions made in the field, in the ED, and in the ICU the same or different? In what ways?
never [62]

Answer:

Explanation:

ED triage: Used daily to prioritize patient assessment and treatment in the emergency department during routine functioning. Priority is given to those most in need. Resources are not rationed. Inpatient triage: Applied day-to-day in a variety of medical settings, such as the ICU, medical imaging, surgery, and outpatient areas, to allocate scarce resources. Priority is given to those most in need based upon medical criteria. Resources are rarely rationed. Incident triage: Used in multiple casualty incidents such as bus accidents, fires, or airline accidents to prioritize the evacuation and treatment of patients. These events place significant stress on local resources but do not overwhelm them. Resources are rarely rationed, and most patients receive maximal treatment. Military triage: Used on the battlefield, modern military triage protocols most reflect the original concept of triage and include many of the same principles. Resources are rationed when their supply is threatened. Disaster triage: Used in mass casualty incidents that overwhelm local and regional healthcare systems. Disaster triage protocols both prioritize salvageable patients for treatment and ration resources to ensure the greatest good for the greatest number.
