Anti-bodies and Viral Diseases

Submit Abstract Register Now

Anti-body also called immunoglobulin is a protective protein produced by the immune system in response to the presence of a foreign substance, called an antigen. A healthy immune system produces antibodies when they react with foreign protein antigens, such as infectious organisms. A viral disease is any illness or health condition which is caused by a virus. Viral diseases are contagious and spread from one person to another. Antibiotics cannot treat viral diseases, which can only cure bacterial diseases and infections. Viruses invade human body cells and use the components of those cells to help them multiply. General treatments for viral infections are Acetaminophen or ibuprofen for fever and body aches, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, drinking extra fluids, getting extra rest and sleep.
