About ninety percent of Americans spend most of their time indoors, not knowing that the air inside your home can contain potentially harmful airborne contaminants as well as the air outside the home. These contaminants, more accurately called allergens, can aggravate asthma or allergy symptoms and cause damage to health. (more…)

B cells
The main function of B cells is to produce antibodies. Antibodies are complex molecules produced by the immune system in response to antigens. As mentioned previously, antigens are foreign proteins or glycoproteins (a sugar linked to a protein) that trigger the immune response. Every living cell produces several different proteins, each unique to its own cell type and species. The antibody produced against the antigen is entirely specific to that antigen. (more…)

Measles virus is a highly infectious viral disease characterized by a sore throat and a blotchy red rash that starts on the face and neck, and spreads to the rest of the body. It is a single viral serotype; either infection or immunization results in lifelong immunity. Human immune response to inactivated measles vaccine may produce atypical and severe disease after natural infection. (more…)

Viruses are the simplest of all life forms. They can be viewed as selfish genes with the single-minded purpose to replicate. Viruses are parasites, and their replication depends strictly on the machinery of cellular organisms. They have developed vehicles that allow for efficient transfer of their genes into host cells, supporting virus replication.
Replication of viruses is rarely subtle; instead it commonly results in damage or even death of the invaded cells. (more…)

Immunization is needed for person to be prevented of getting diseases, whereas in bigger scale, it is needed to eradicate the break out of diseases in population area. Immunization has accounted for prominent advances in health around the world. Immunizations in children are part of routine health care and it is necessary to do so. Major governments in the world have financed the implementation of vaccines available publicly. Many states in US have laws requiring validation of immunization as a precondition for school entry. Because of this progress, many viruses disease like poliomyelitis, diphtheria, and tetanus have all but disappeared in some developed nations. Some diseases like measles, rubella, and pertussis are still available but rare. World Health Organization has made poliomyelitis disease as the next target for eradication. (more…)
