A 39-year-old woman with rheumatoid arthritis comes to the physician for a follow-up examination. Treatment with multiple medications, including prednisone and methotrexate, has not been effective at slowing the progress of her condition. The most appropriate next step in pharmacotherapy is a drug that blocks the effects of which of the following cytokines? Entaracept : Fusion protein- decoy receptor A) Interferon gamma B) Interleukin-2 (IL-2) C) IL-4 D) IL-10 E) Tumor necrosis factor-a found
The current view in the field of immunology is that dendritic cells are the primary antigen-presenting cells for stimulating naive T cells. One piece of evidence supporting this conclusion is the observation that IRF8-deficient individuals, which retain their tissue-resident macrophages, are susceptible to a range of severe opportunistic infections caused by intracellular bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Explain the reasoning behind this argument.
(56) A 1 year old boy dies of staphylococcal pneumonia. He has had multiple skin infections since birth. Separation of the umbilical cord was delayed. A skin window test was performed and no leukocyte accumulated on the cover ship. The cytometric analysis showed that only 5% of the T lymphocytes reacted with a monoclonal antibody to leukocyte functional antigen-1 chain (CD 18) compared with reactivity of 62 % for a normal subject. Just prior to death, his leukocyte count was 75,000/mm3. Which of the following is the most likely diagnosis? (A) AIDS (B) Cogenital Asplenia (C)Leukocyte Adhesion Deficiency (D) Severe Combined Immunodeficiency Disease (E) X linked agammaglobulinemia
In spite of their low affinity for binding to their antigen, IgM antibodies can be quite effective at promoting the elimination of extracellular bacterial infections. This is due to: The ability of IgM antibodies to traffic across epithelial surfaces Multivalent binding of IgM pentamers to repetitive epitopes on bacterial surfaces The high concentration of IgM antibodies in the serum and in all tissues The early production of IgM antibodies during an immune response The high rate of somatic hypermutation in the genes encoding IgM antibodies
Major histocompatibility proteins (MHC) presented with an antigen: are recognized by T lymphocytes both may be expressed by any nucleated cell and are recognized by T lymphocytes both may be expressed by any nucleated cell and are recognized by B lymphocytes may be expressed by any nucleated cell are recognized by B lymphocytes
122. A 2-year-old boy has had recurrent episodes of otitis media and bacterial pneumonia. Serum immunoglobulin concentrations are: 1 mg/dL (N=23-190) 10 mg/dL (N=500-1300) 5 mg/dL (N=50-199) Further testing shows normal phagocytic function and delayed-type hypersensitivity responses. A lymph node biopsy specimen is most likely to show absence of which of the following cells? A) Capillary endothelial cells– IgA IgG IgM B) CD4+ T lymphocytes QC) CD8+ T lymphocytes OD) Dendritic cells E) Plasma cells
CD8 T cells in a culture are analyzed for their ability to produce the cytokine IFN-g, and the numbers of IFN-g-producing CD8 T cells are quantified. As a control, T cells are also stimulated with an irrelevant non-viral peptide (ova) plus dendritic cells. The results are shown in the figure below. Why is the T cell response different between the two lymph node populations?
In a mixed lymphocyte reaction, T cells from individual A make a robust response to antigen-presenting-cells from individual B, as long as the two individuals express different alleles of MHC molecules. Estimates indicate that up to 10% of the T cells from individual A may contribute to this response. If one performed this assay using responder T cells from a child and antigen-presenting cells from one parent, the result would be: A massive proliferative response made by the antigen-presenting cells of the parent A very weak response by the child’s T cells, involving only 0.1% of their T cells The complete absence of any proliferative response by the child’s T cells A robust cytolytic response that kills all of the parent’s antigen-presenting cells A robust response by the child’s T cells
