Summary Introduction

To summarize:

The three major functions of the complement system.

Introduction:

The complement system is generally an enzyme cascade. It is a collection of blood as well as cell surface proteins that assist the abilities of different types of antibodies to clear the pathogens from an organism. The complement system comprises nearly 30 different types of proteins, which include serosal proteins, serum proteins, and the cell membrane receptors.

If you transplant trunk neural crest into the cranial neural crest region of a developing embryo, will you see the donor tissue form cartilage? Does the neural crest only give rise to two cells in the developing embryo, and is essential for lamprey to develop their jaw structure? Does a multipotent neural crest cell that is receiving Wnt signals become a Chromaffin cell?
Using quail and chick embryos, quail-specific antibody and fluorescent tissue-specific antibodies, design an experiment where you investigate the tissues the cranial neural crest can give rise to.  What are four derivatives of the cranial neural crest that you expect to see in the resulting chimeric embryos?
Does the neural crest have to undergo epithelial to mesenchymal transition prior to migration through the developing embryo?  Does the neural crest differentiate into different cell types based on their axial position along the anterior and posterior axis?
