Single Antigen, Multiple Organs Some Type-II immunopathology mediated autoimmune diseases have manifestations in multiple differ

ent organs. Discuss how antibodies to one single antigen can cause damage in multiple sites throughout the body. Things you might discuss include, but are not limited to where the antigen could be expressed, how antibodies are made, how they bind antigen, where they circulate, the ratios of antigen to antibody, mechanisms of the immune system that result in cellular/tissue damage, or how immune system components can affect other organs. You might also comment on what makes one antigen an attractive target rather than another. Please do NOT comment on all the things listed above, they are just to get you thinking. If you are having trouble getting started, it might help to think about a specific disease which affects multiple organs... Good Luck!

Answer:

Adaptive immune responses are triggered by activation of antigen-specific T cells that produce antibodies against foreign antigens such as, for example, harmful viruses. These immune responses are useful to eliminate dangerous molecules from the body. In a normal immune reaction, the antibodies produced by T-cells target antigen molecules in order to be subsequently absorbed by phagocytic macrophage cells.

Autoimmune diseases are triggered by the response of the adaptive immune system against self-antigen molecules. Since the immune system can not eliminate antigens from the own body, this immune reaction generates an excessive inflammatory response, and it may lead to the damage of tissues and organs.

Daren has sickle-cell disease. Because of the disease, some of Daren's blood cells are long and thin instead of being disk-shape
neonofarm [45]

Answer: B cells can be influenced by genetic factors

Explanation: Daren has sickle cell disease. Sickle cell disorder is a kind of disease that affects the hemoglobin in the red blood cells. Hemoglobin, is a molecule in red blood cells that delivers oxygen to cells throughout the body. People with Sickle cell disorder have hemoglobin molecules called hemoglobin S, which distort the shape of the red blood cells. A normal red blood cell has a disc shape but people with sickle cell like Daren have their red blood cells and distorted into a sickle, or crescent, shape

1. Increased efforts to conserve areas such as rain forests are necessary in order to
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

1. Protect biodiversity

2. An indicator species

3. Biomagnification

4. Cutting down all the trees for lumber

5. Bioaccumulation

Explanation:

1. Conserving areas such as rain forests protect biodiversity because rain forests hold one of the highest biodiversity. They carry different types of resources that support different forms of life and at the same time, the organisms that live there support each other as well.

2. An indicator species is an organism that scientists can observe to see if there are changes in the environment it lives in. They judge the change or the implications based on the absence of the species in the environment (in which they used to be present), the presence of the species, and markers of adaptation due to the change in the ecosystem.

3. Biomagnification is a term used when contaminants that were consumed by the organisms in the lower trophic level are passed on to the next trophic level in higher concentrations. This is why those in the highest trophic levels are affected the most because they get the higher concentration of contaminants. DDT was banned when this phenomena was observed.

4. The greatest decrease in rain forest stability would be due to the cutting of trees. We can disrupt stability by gathering resources like nuts from some trees or when you remove one species of plant for medicine. However, the trees are an essential part of the rain forest because each part or area of the tree support different organisms. By cutting the whole trees off and several of them, you doom the organisms that rely on them as well.

5. As mentioned above, bioaccumulation is often interchanged with biomagnification but they differ in the usage of the terms. Like biomagnification, it talks about the accumulation of contaminants in organisms that ingest or absorb them. But bioaccumulation is a term used in a smaller scale, where it talks about the accumulation of the contimants in the tissues of the organism and not how they are passed on.
