Chapter 12, Problem 15Q
Summary Introduction

(A)

To write:

Describe the ligand for the NK-cell receptor CD94: NKG2A.

Introduction:

The activation of NK cells is conducted by the expression of different activating as well as, inhibitory receptors in a manner, which prevents the NK cells from attacking the normal cells. CD94: NKG2A complex develops inhibitory signals due to the presence of immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motives (ITIM) in the cytoplasmic tail of NKG2A, enable recruitment of tyrosine phosphatase SHP-1, SHP-2, or SHIP that inactivate signaling cascade of NK-cell activation.

Summary Introduction

(B)

To write:

The concentration of this ligand on the target cell an effective measure of the presence or absence of classical MHC class I molecules.

Introduction:

The activation of NK cells is conducted by the expression of different activating as well as, inhibitory receptors in a manner, which prevents the NK cells from attacking the normal cells. CD94: NKG2A complex develops inhibitory signals due to the presence of immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motives (ITIM) in the cytoplasmic tail of NKG2A, enable recruitment of tyrosine phosphatase SHP-1, SHP-2, or SHIP that inactivate signaling cascade of NK-cell activation.

Summary Introduction

(C)

To write:

The Reason, this ligand considered a broad mechanism for the NK-cell detection of unhealthy cells that is relatively insensitive to MHC class I polymorphisms.

Introduction:

The activation of NK cells is conducted by the expression of different activating as well as, inhibitory receptors in a manner, which prevents the NK cells from attacking the normal cells. CD94: NKG2A complex develops inhibitory signals due to the presence of immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motives (ITIM) in the cytoplasmic tail of NKG2A, enable recruitment of tyrosine phosphatase SHP-1, SHP-2, or SHIP that inactivate signaling cascade of NK-cell activation.

If using animals in medical experiments could save human lives, is it ethical to do so? In your answer, apply at least one ethical theory in support of your position.
You aim to test the hypothesis that the Tbx4 and Tbx5 genes inhibit each other's expression during limb development. With access to chicken embryos and viruses capable of overexpressing Tbx4 and Tbx5, describe an experiment to investigate whether these genes suppress each other's expression in the limb buds. What results would you expect if they do repress each other? What results would you expect if they do not repress each other?
You decide to delete Fgf4 and Fgf8 specifically in the limb bud. Explain why you would not knock out these genes in the entire embryo instead.
