Virus infections induce production of interferons that act on infected cells to enhance their recognition by CD8 cytotoxic T cells. To counter these mechanisms, viruses often encode proteins that interfere with antigen processing and presentation. In an experiment, cells infected with Virus X are treated with interferon and compared with uninfected cells treated with interferon. Proteasomes are isolated from the two cell populations and their enzymatic activities are compared. The data in figure below show the amino acid preferences for cleavage of peptides by the two samples of proteasomes.Based on these data, Virus X most likely encodes a protein that interferes with:The expression of MHC class I on the surface of the infected cellThe rate at which peptides are produced from intact proteins in the infected cellThe transport of peptides from the cytosol to the endoplasmic reticulum in the infected cellThe replacement of constitutive proteasome subunits with immunoproteasome subunits in the infected cellThe development of CD8 T cells in the thymus by inhibiting the thymoproteasome The bar graph presented illustrates the percentage of peptides with specific amino acid residues at the first position under two distinct conditions: exposure to Interferon alone (represented by yellow bars) and exposure to both Virus X and Interferon (represented by red bars).**Graph Details:**- **Y-Axis:** The y-axis represents the percentage of peptides, ranging from 0% to 25%.- **X-Axis:** The x-axis lists the amino acid residues at the first position of the peptide, denoted by single-letter codes: L (Leucine), F (Phenylalanine), I (Isoleucine), Y (Tyrosine), D (Aspartic acid), E (Glutamic acid), and Q (Glutamine).**Interpreting the Data:**1. **Leucine (L):** - Interferon: Approximately 23% of peptides. - Virus X + Interferon: Approximately 10% of peptides.2. **Phenylalanine (F):** - Interferon: Approximately 6% of peptides. - Virus X + Interferon: Approximately 7% of peptides.3. **Isoleucine (I):** - Interferon: Approximately 4% of peptides. - Virus X + Interferon: Approximately 5% of peptides.4. **Tyrosine (Y):** - Interferon: Approximately 5% of peptides. - Virus X + Interferon: Approximately 8% of peptides.5. **Aspartic Acid (D):** - Interferon: Approximately 3% of peptides. - Virus X + Interferon: Approximately 7% of peptides.6. **Glutamic Acid (E):** - Interferon: Approximately 4% of peptides. - Virus X + Interferon: Approximately 6% of peptides.7. **Glutamine (Q):** - Interferon: Approximately 2% of peptides. - Virus X + Interferon: Approximately 4% of peptides.**Key Observations:**- The presence of Interferon alone leads to a significantly higher percentage of peptides with Leucine at the first position compared to the co-presence of Virus X and Interferon.- Under the combined condition of Virus X and Interferon, there is

Regarding the production of recombinant monoclonal antibodies, it is CORRECT to state that: * (JUST ONE STATEMENT IS CORRECT) (A) Chimeric and humanized antibodies differ in relation to the percentage of sequence of the constant chain of molecules from the human genome (B) Chimeric antibodies are industrially produced by joining purified protein fragments of the Fab fraction of murine antibodies and the constant portion of human antibodies. (C) When using cells dependent on the DHF amplification system, we must use a vector containing the coding information of the light and heavy chains and another vector that contains the coding sequence of the enzyme dihydrofolate reductase (D)The industrial purification of monoclonal antibodies should preferably use an initial step based on the use of affinity columns, which will bind the antibodies by the Fc fraction (E) The use of amplification systems such as GS and DHFR has as main objective to make the production of monoclonal antibodies…
Can you please pick the right answer in each parentheses? The spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 is a carbohydrate-modified protein that ["bind the RNA genome of the virus", "", "is on the surface of the viral particle", ""] and plays a role in both ["replication of the viral genome", "recognition of host cell"] and ["packaging of viral genome for export", "fusion of viral envelope with host cell plasma membrane"] . Importantly, earlier work on spike proteins from other corona viruses showed that this molecule ["remarkable resistance to immune response", "shows remarkable conformational changes"] and only one of these served as a good antigen for vaccine development. A critical discovery in advancing the development of our current vaccines was determining what changes in the amino acid sequence would ["block degradation of the spike protein", "stabilize the conformation of the protein found on the viral particle"]. This…
When a mixture of different IgG antibody proteins are treated with the enzyme papain, each antibody is cleaved into three roughly equal size fragments. From each original antibody, two of the three fragments are identical to each other, and represent the ‘arms’ of the antibody ‘Y’. These fragments are known as Fab fragments. The third fragment is known as the Fc region, because this fragment will crystallize when purified. The reason a mixture of Fc fragments will crystallize is because: It is the only part of the antibody protein that can easily be purified at the high concentrations needed for crystallization. It has no disulfide bonds holding the domains together, as disulfide bonds will inhibit crystallization. It is the only fragment of the antibody that still has disulfide bonds, so it remains intact during the crystallization process. The Fc fragments of IgG are much more water soluble than the Fab fragments. All Fc fragments generated from a mixture of IgG molecules have the…

Several vaccines against viral infections are made by isolating purified surface proteins of the viral particle, mixing them with an adjuvant to stimulate an innate immune response, and injecting the mixture into people. Two examples of this are the vaccine against Hepatitis B virus, and the vaccine against Human Papilloma Virus (the ‘cervical cancer’ vaccine). One interesting property of vaccines of this type (known as ‘subunit vaccines’) is that there is a requirement for a CD4 T cell response to the vaccine antigen in order to generate antibodies to the innocuous protein in the vaccine. In the case of the Hepatitis B vaccine, the viral protein included in the vaccine is the Hepatitis B surface antigen (HepB-SAg), a protein that is approximately 200 amino acids in length. The graph in Figure Q4.27 shows the data from immunizing individuals with this vaccine, and monitoring their production of protective antibody responses to the viral protein. a) What results would be predicted if…

A cell is infected with an HIV mutant that results in very little virus being released into the medium that is used to grow the cultured cells. Upon electron microscopy it is noted that the membrane of the infected cell is idenitcal in appearance to a cell that has not been infected. In addition there is relatively little viral RNA in the cells and relatively few proviruses in the cellular genome when compared to a non-mutant HIV infection.
