It functions to destroy old red blood cells, produce antibodies, store red blood cells and filter microorganisms from blood.
Quite possibly the same antibodies Murgatroyd had produced were responsible for their safety.
Originally all antibodies produced for immunostaining were polyclonal, i.e. raised by normal antibody reactions in animals such as horses or rabbits.
Over several rounds of selection, the resultant secreted antibodies produced will have effectively increased affinities for antigen.
Blood tests never detected the bacteria that cause anthrax or the antibodies the immune system should produce in response.
These antibodies can also produce a negative response.
Your B cells and the antibodies they produce make you immune to that specific invader infection.
Additionally, the antibodies produced bind only to nicotine and not to nicotine metabolites or any similar endogenous structures such as acetylcholine.
But the French scientists said their antibody, 33B3.1, produced fewer infections and other side effects than the standard therapy.
Existing vaccines or natural antibodies cannot produce an immune response to the new strain.
