This 3D medical animation shows how antibodies stop harmful pathogens from attaching themselves to healthy cells in the blood stream. The animation begins by showing normal red and white blood cells flowing through the blood stream. Next, a single pathogen appears onscreen slowly moving toward its destination on the surface of a cell. The tubular extensions on the pathogen are surface proteins which attach to corresponding surface proteins on a white blood cell, or leukocyte. As the animation continues, more pathogens continue to attach to the white blood cell, rendering it ineffective.During the immune system response, Y-shaped antibodies begin attacking the pathogen, binding to its surface proteins as the pathogen attempts to anchor to the blood cell. The antibodies completely block the pathogen from attaching to the blood cell, "tagging" the pathogen so that one of the immune system's leaner cells, a macrophage, appears onscreen to engulf and digest the pathogen.Nucleus Medical Art is a leading creator and licensor of medical illustrations, 3D medical animations and interactive multimedia for medical devices, pharmaceutical companies, education, biotechnology, marketing agencies, lawyers, and more.

| And it happens through all through chemistry. |

| I'd love to because it fascinates me to no extent but I lack the motivation, good luck to you though. |

| Hi there guys, I am just wondering if anyone is going to or is going to college for a biochemistry degree and going to work at a medicine company like me. As it seems like theres not very many people wanting to become biochemist. |

| omg i read about 3 pages from my biology book about this and i understood it all in this 0:53 video |

| The macrophage has Fc receptors that bind to the IgG and subsequently the bacteria. The macrophage then engulfs the bacteria. The macrophage then fuses the phagosome (the vesicle the bacteria is in) with a lysosome (a vesicle that contains enzymes to kill the bacteria.) |

| There is bacteria in the blood stream. This bacteria has a virulence factor that allows it to attach to the human cells. IgG (a specific type of antibody called immunoglobulin G) that was produced from a prior exposure to this particular bacteria is present in the blood stream. This IgG opsonizes (or binds and coats) the bacteria so that it cannot bind to human cells. A macrophage then sees the IgG (the IgG has an Fc region that is pointing away from the bacteria). |
