Lymphocytes. Pathogens contain certain chemicals that are foreign to the body and are called antigens. Each lymphocyte carries a specific type of antibody-a protein that has a chemical 'fit' to a certain antigen.
Carpet vs. Laminate Flooring. When looking at flooring options, carpets and laminate floors are popular choices. Their cost is usually comparable and is cheaper than solid hardwood flooring. Roughly half of new flooring sold in America every year is carpet. Laminate flooring is considered more hygienic and hypoallergenic than carpet, as it is easily cleaned, and dirt won't go unnoticed.
Laminate floors combine a realistic impression of real hardwood, stone and tile with an extremely durable finish. These floors have become a popular alternative to real hardwood and vinyl floors. Although laminate floors are extremely tough, they can be scratched by big dogs or dragging heavy objects across the floor.
