Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) gene is located on chromosome 6 and that code for MHC protein. MHC proteins are classified into two (MHC I and MHC II), these cell surface proteins recognize and bind with antigens from pathogens and present them to immune cells. MHCs regulate adaptive immune response.

TRUE OR FALSE
1. Acute inflammation is better than chronic inflammation
2. The major inflammatory cells in the body are white blood cells
Stuck on this immunology question. This combination was not accepted. Book is Immunology by Kuby and the chapter is: Chapter 18 "Immunodeficiency Diseases". Thanks in advance!
Question 1 Nursing.
Innate lymphoid cells reside primarily in tissues such as the lungs, the lining of the gastrointestinal tract, and the skin, because these sites represent the major routes of entry of pathogens into the body.
Several different subsets of innate lymphoid cells exist, and each is specialized to respond to a category of pathogen (e.g., viruses, extracellular bacteria, helminthic parasites, etc).
a) True
b) False

- Immunology This 29 year old Lab Tech is suffering from fever, persistent fatigue, and joint pain. He reported that a needle in a plastic garbage bag nicked his finger about 2 months ago. His physical examination was within normal limits. His laboratory data, however, revealed elevated liver serum enzyme levels and total bilirubin levels. Additional laboratory data included positive HBsAg and positive IgM anti-HBc. His IgM anti-HAV and anti-HCV tests were negative. 1. Does this patient have a form of infectious hepatitis? If so, what type? 2. Can any further tests be done to confirm the diagnosis? 3. What's the patient’s prognosis?arrow_forwardplease answer all thank youarrow_forwardCorrect answer i needarrow_forward
