Definition: In the King James Version (KJV), the word "Alloa" refers to a type of fruit, commonly known as apricot, which is often grown in Scotland. It's also used in various other contexts within the KJV. 1. In the context of agriculture and food production: The root "al-" indicates that this word comes from the Greek word "almos," which translates into "fruit" or "bush fruit." The Hebrew name for apricot, "alethi," appears to be derived from the Greek word "alot," which means "a bush," and thus "alloa" might refer to a bush fruit. This is consistent with its common usage as an edible fruit in Scotland. 2. In religious or spiritual matters: In the KJV, "Alloa" may also represent a specific type of prayer or worship ritual, like the traditional Scottish way of praying with one's hands clasped behind one's back, which was part of the practice during the early church. This is distinct from the more common usage where "Alloa," in the context of prayer and worship, could refer to an unspecified fruit. 3. In other areas: In some parts of the Bible, "alloa" may have been used in different contexts or possibly as a metaphorical reference to the concept of God's love or compassion towards all people, including those who are poor and needy. It could also be a representation of God's desire for mankind to understand and appreciate His relationship with creation. In summary, while there is no specific word found in the KJV that directly translates to "alloa" as used in these contexts, it seems to be an ancient or historically significant term meaning something akin to "fruit," "prayer," or "God's love." It could indeed have been a reference to a variety of things, including a fruit tree.

Definition: The word "alloantibody" comes from Greek and refers to a protein that occurs in human blood during an immune reaction, known as autoimmunity or Autoantibody. The term was first used by German immunologist Franz Alois Stier in his work on autoimmune diseases in 1894. Definition: Alloantibodies are proteins that can bind with specific antibodies. They are produced by the B cells of the immune system, which recognize and attack foreign substances such as bacteria or viruses. When these autoantibodies encounter antigens (a protein that is usually presented on a surface of an organism), they bind to them, causing inflammation in the body. Alloantibodies can be seen in various forms including IgM (immunoglobulin M) and IgG2 (immunoglobulin G2). They play important roles in the immune response against pathogens and are also involved in regulating the immune system's response to infections.
