Chapter 14, Problem 1VC

a.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

The location of the membrane attack complex in gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria.

Introduction:

A group of proteins can work in several pathways to kill the invading pathogen. The end product of the “complement system” is a membrane attack complex. This defense system is called a nonspecific defense because there is no specificity between the pathogen and the serum proteins of the complement system.

b.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

Gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, which are more resistance to the formation of membrane attack complex.

Introduction:

The complement system is a very important part of the immune system that enhances the ability of antibodies and phagocytic cells to inhibit the growth of microbes and damaged cells from an organism and attacks the pathogen's cell membrane.

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.
