The function of the integrin can be described as follows:a). Media signal translation insideb). Stabilizes the binding of the TCR so that receivers are added and signals are sent insidec). Allows the receiver and its corrector to stick to the antigend). It helps the movement and development of lipid rafts that add and concentrate antigens together with TCR
We now have at least three SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 vaccines approved by the FDA for use in the United States. These vaccines cause cells in the body to make the spike protein that is on the surface of the virus, and subsequently, stimulate an antibody response to this antigen. A. What do these antibodies do to prevent infection by SARS-CoV-2? How do they interact with the virus particles? B. Which kind of cells in the immune system are responsible for synthesizing these antibodies?

- Based on these data, where would you MOST likely find toll-like receptor-XX (TLR-XX) among the following options? Justify WHY you selected that option.Your justification must be based on the data that are presented here, not the type of bacteria. A. On the cell surface B. In the endosome/ lysosome C. In the nucleus D. In the mitochondria E. In the endoplasmic reticulumarrow_forwardA researcher discovers that a breed of rabbits have antibodies that can neutralize HIV. The researcher decides to extract the antibody concentrated plasma and deliver it to a patient with HIV. What would you likely expect to see? a. The HIV patient will now have a fighting chance to eliminate HIV as the antibodies will not discriminate and bind to the same viral antigenic determinants. b. The HIV patient will form antibodies against the rabbit serum antibodies. c. The rabbit antibodies will opsonize the HIV antigenic determinants on the MHC II. d. The rabbit antibodies will never work because HIV in humans are different than HIV in rabbits.arrow_forwardThe five classes of immunoglobulin differ in …. Select one: a. None of the above b. Ability to bind various classes of antigens (viral, bacterial etc) c. Make up of the heavy and light chains d. Rate of mutation in the variable domain (i.e. speed at which each class can respond to a new antigen) e. Size of the variable domainarrow_forward

The graph above shows the resistance of HIV at various concentrations of the antiviral drug, AZT over time. The results illustrate that: a. Every patient reacts the same to HIV b. Some patients have greater resistance to HIV than others c. Resistance to HIV increases over time d. Over time, HIV can become resistant to therapy. Resistance (% relative viability in presence of AZT)arrow_forwardWhich of the following can be answered by immunohistochemistry? Select all that apply. a. Whether BDNF binds to NF200 b. Whether transcription occurs in GFAP- expressing cells c. Whether BDNF is found in GFAP-expressing cells d. Whether newly transcribed BDNF MRNA is detectable in a tissue slicearrow_forwardDecreasing the amount of cytokine produced by the body would most directly prevent what event during the progression of COVID-19 in its host? A). Early viral infection of host cells. B). Replication of infected cells. C). Excessive damage to lung cells by the hot immune system. D). Transmission of the virus from one host to another.arrow_forward

- A researcher performs an experiment where he infects 2 mice (Mouse A and Mouse B) with herpes simplex virus (HSV). To measure the cytotoxicity of CD8+ T cells from Mouse A, he isolates CD8+ T cells from Mouse A and co-cultures them with a mixture of HSV-infected spleen cells from Mouse B. A day later, he checks the co-culture, but none of the infected spleen cells from Mouse B have been killed. What could explain this observation? a.Mouse B does not express the invariant chain (Ii) b.Mouse A and Mouse B express different MHC alleles c.Mouse A does not express TLR2/6 d.HSV immunoevasins block MHC-II expressionarrow_forwardAn outbreak of Ebola between 2014 and 2016 resulted in 28,616 cases and 11,310 deaths in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone. An additional 36 cases and 15 deaths were reported outside these 3 countries. This deadly disease urged the need for extensive research on Ebola to better understand and treat the disease and prevent future outbreaks. Ebola is a - SSRNA virus. What does this mean for how it is converted into proteins? Does this virus require additional machinery to be infectious? Can you hypothesize based on how it replicates in the cell what scientists might hope to target for treatment or prevention of Ebola?arrow_forwardWhich of the following is the most likely explanation for an individual who lacks CCR5 as a result of a homozygous defect in the CCR5 gene becoming infected with HIV? a. The mutated CCR5 genes reverted to the normal form, rendering macrophages susceptible to macrophagetropic HIV variants. b. The macrophage-tropic HIV variant entered host cells using CD4 alone. c. The viral nucleic acid alone was taken up by cells, as in cell transformation by bacterial DNA. d. The individual had received a transplant of HIV-infected cells expressing normal CCR5. e. The primary infection involved a lymphocyte-tropic strain of HIV that used CXCR4 as its co-receptor.arrow_forward
