Paratrope lies on Fab (Fragment antigen binding). ?Two important groups of antigens are : ABO – system and Rh – system. ?A vaccine acts as an antigen and antibody – provoking agent. ?Five classes of antibodies : IgG : It is most abundant (80% of total antibodies) immunoglobulin mainly found in serum. It is a Y-shaped tetrapeptide protein formed of two identical light chains (each of 214 amino acids) and two identical heavy chains (each of 440 amino acids). Three disulphide bonds interlink these chains : two between light and heavy chains and one between heavy chains. These have the properties of transplacental transfer and binding ability to macrophages. Mol. Wt. of IgG is 150,000. It is mainly involved in extracellular defence. It is a -globulin protein. IgG acts as opsonin. IgA : It is second most abundant immunoglobin (10-15%) with a mol. Wt. of 160000. It is a dimmer molecule in which two -polypeptide chains are linked by J-polypeptide chain. It is found in saliva, tears, colostrum, etc. It guards the mucosal surfaces. It is first antibody type to be formed inside human body at about age of 4 months. IgM : It is a polymer of five tetrameric peptide immunoglobin molecules interlinked by disulphide bonds. It is called macro-globulin as has highest mol. Wt. (i.e. 900000). It is found on surface of B-cells. IgD : It is formed of four delta-peptide chains. IgE : It is formed of epsilon heavy chain and is found in mast cells of tissues and serum. It is least in amount. If triggers inflammatory response. It also mediates in allergic reactions. Inflammatory response. It also mediates in allergic reaction. ?ELISA-test : Enzyme linked Immunosobent Assay : A sensitive test for detection and quantitation of antigens and antibodies. ?SAFA – test : Solid Antigen Fluorescent Antibody Test : It is a modification of ELISA test in which fluorescent – labeled antigers are used and interactions can be visualized. ?Cytokines : These are soluble non-antibody proteins released by cells of immune system e.g. interleukin-I produced by macrophages; perforin secreted by killer T-cells. ?Joseph Miester : First person to be given antirabies vaccine. ?Toxinosis : Lesion caused by the action of a toxin. ?Types of Diseases : Endemic disease (En = in; demos = people).

The majority of baculoviruses used as biological control agents are in the genus Nucleopolyhedrovirus. These viruses are excellent candidates for species-specific, narrow spectrum insecticidal applications. They have been shown to have no negative impacts on plants, mammals, birds, fish or even on non-target insects. This is especially desirable when beneficial insects are being conserved to aid in an overall integrated pest management (IPM) programme, or when an ecologically sensitive area is being treated. ................
