3D Medical Animation: Antibody Immune Response

http://www.nucleusinc.com/medical-animation 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.

@Rosalynnful You mean: thank evolution for our immune system. ;)

@mistaba kids these days, bound by the fruit of the earth. ive been through convos like this and this isnt the first time ive heard the same thing over and over, makes me laugh when you say im the fooled one exuse meh, "HAR HAR HAR" anywho.....*FACEPALMS*

@boyboy2000ful Poor ignoramus. Great minds of old said that asinine, religious wishful thinking would some day begin to diminish, and eventually cease, and it's happening. :D

And of course you won't read the below info given by someonelove520, it's information and logical structure! Sure nothing of interest for an ignorant religious person like you, when it's easier to believe it's either magic, or gods command ''Poof'' THAR''. *facepalms*

@Rosalynnful go you! ^0^

@TheThesadboy poor soul... :( the bible said these days would come, where everyone will stop beliveing, and it came...DX

@someonelove520 im not going to bother reading that but thanks for the effort...

@boyboy2000ful Initially, there are many types of cell inside the blood capillaries and the one you can see at 0:10 is the pathogen. This pathogen attach on the surface of a macrophage at 0:18 and more and more pathogen attach in the same way. At 0:29, some Y-shaped antibodies attach on the pathogen and a few more antibodies help to occupy other binding sites of the pathogen. At 0:39, the phagocyte engulf the pathogen and digest it.

I didnt understand any of that

man I'm tripping balls watching this at six in the morning

after reading my entire biology book, i never got that anti-bodies actually block the micro-organisms ability to connect to a cell. 53 seconds well spend i say
