Immunogens and Antigens - correct answer Immunogen: A molecule that can elicit the production of an antibody when introduced into the host. Antigen: A molecule that is recognized and bound by an antibody. An immunogen must be an antigen, but an antigen is not necessarily an immunogen. Innate vs. Adaptive Immune System - correct answer 1) Adaptive takes time to react to pathogen; innate are always present and ready to be mobilized. ...

What are the two systems of of adaptive immunity? - correct answer 1. Cellular - Cell mediated 2. Humoral - Ab Both part of adaptive immunity. What are the components of innate immunity? - correct answer 1. Have the physical barriers, provided by skin, mucous, and epithelium. 2. A variety of serum molecules that may promote ingestion and killing. These include macrophages, neutrophils, dendritic cells, and molecules including com...

Drug Discovery - ANSWER • Unlike small molecule drugs (pharmaceuticals), large molecule drugs (biopharmaceuticals) are mainly protein-based o These protein-based drugs are similar to natural biological compounds found in human body or they're fragments that mimic active part of natural compounds Discovery of Pharmaceuticals - ANSWER commences w/ scanning hundreds of compounds, whether w/ actual materials (irrational approach) or virtual simulations (rational approach) • Pharmaceuticals...
