Why are Rhesus antibodies (D antibodies) injected after birth?
Rhesus antibodies, also known as D antibodies, are injected after birth to prevent a condition called hemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN). This condition occurs when a mother with Rh-negative blood type is exposed to Rh-positive blood from her baby during pregnancy or childbirth. The mother's immune system can develop antibodies against the Rh-positive blood, which can then attack the baby's red blood cells in future pregnancies. By injecting Rhesus antibodies after birth, any Rh-positive blood from the baby that may have entered the mother's bloodstream is targeted and destroyed before her immune system can develop its own antibodies, thus preventing HDN in future pregnancies.

What antibodies are there and which antibodies are present in which blood groups?
There are several types of antibodies, but the most commonly known are IgG, IgA, IgM, IgD, and IgE. In the context of blood groups, the most relevant antibodies are the ABO antibodies and the Rh antibodies. ABO antibodies are present in individuals who do not have the A or B antigens on their red blood cells, and they can have anti-A or anti-B antibodies depending on their blood type. Rh antibodies are present in individuals who are Rh-negative and can develop anti-Rh antibodies if exposed to Rh-positive blood.
-
What does IgM antibodies mean?
IgM antibodies are a type of antibody produced by the immune system in response to an initial infection. They are the first antibodies to be produced in response to a new infection and are typically short-lived. IgM antibodies are important for the body's initial defense against pathogens, but they are eventually replaced by IgG antibodies, which provide long-term immunity.

Wind : Nature and Culture
By turns creative and destructive, wind spreads seeds, fills sails and disperses the energy of the sun.Worshipped since antiquity, wind has moulded planets, decided the outcome of innumerable battles and shaped the evolution of humans and animals - yet it remains intangible and unpredictable. In this book Louise M. Pryke explores the science behind wind, as well as how it has been imagined and portrayed in myth, religion, art and literature since ancient times.Its formative effect on the Earth's environment is reflected in its prominent role in myths and religions of antiquity.In the modern day, wind has inspired ground-breaking scientific innovations, and appeared in artistic works as diverse as the art of Van Gogh, the poetry of Keats and the blockbuster film Twister.

Glacier : Nature and Culture
As major actors in the unfolding drama of climate change, glaciers feature prominently in Earth’s past and its future.Wherever on the planet we live, glaciers affect each of us directly.They control the atmospheric and ocean circulations that drive the weather; they supply drinking and irrigation water to millions of people; and they protect us from catastrophic sea-level rise.The very existence of glaciers affects our view of the planet and of ourselves, but it is less than 200 years since we realised that ice ages come and go, and that glaciers once covered much more of the planet’s surface than they do now.An inspiration to artists, a challenge for engineers, glaciers mean different things to different people.Crossing the boundaries between art, environment, science, nature and culture, this book uniquely considers glaciers from a myriad perspectives, revealing their complexity, majesty and importance, but also their fragility.

How are humanized antibodies produced?
Humanized antibodies are produced by taking the variable region genes from a mouse antibody and combining them with the constant region genes from a human antibody. This process creates a chimeric antibody that retains the antigen-binding specificity of the mouse antibody while minimizing the potential for an immune response in humans. The resulting humanized antibody can then be produced using recombinant DNA technology in mammalian cell culture systems. This allows for the large-scale production of humanized antibodies for therapeutic use in treating various diseases, including cancer and autoimmune disorders.

How many antibodies do you have?
As an AI language model, I do not have a physical body, so I do not have antibodies. Antibodies are produced by the immune system of living organisms to help fight off infections and diseases. Each person's immune system produces a unique set of antibodies to target specific pathogens. The number of antibodies a person has can vary depending on their individual immune response and exposure to different pathogens.

Are immunoglobulins and antibodies the same thing?
Yes, immunoglobulins and antibodies are essentially the same thing. Immunoglobulins are a type of protein produced by the immune system in response to the presence of a foreign substance, such as a virus or bacteria. Antibodies are a specific type of immunoglobulin that specifically recognize and bind to these foreign substances, marking them for destruction by other immune cells. Therefore, while the terms are often used interchangeably, antibodies are a specific subset of the larger category of immunoglobulins.

What is the difference between antigens and antibodies?
Antigens are molecules that can trigger an immune response in the body, such as viruses, bacteria, and other foreign substances. They are recognized by the immune system as being foreign and can stimulate the production of antibodies. Antibodies, on the other hand, are proteins produced by the immune system in response to the presence of antigens. They specifically bind to antigens and help to neutralize or eliminate them from the body. In summary, antigens are the foreign substances that trigger the immune response, while antibodies are the proteins produced by the immune system to target and neutralize antigens.
