What is "defined as the structural differences (diversity) observed in the variable domains of antibodies?
This is for immunology.
Mr. Y’s HIV is being managed on a combination drug regimen that includes two nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) and one protease inhibitor (PI). His viral load is currently 50,000 copies/ mL; 3 months ago, his viral load was undetectable. His CD4+ T-lymphocyte count is 526 cells/mm3, down from 680 cells/mm3 3 months ago. Although he has been following his HAART regimen, he has experienced multiple complications, including several opportunistic infections. In light of his medical history, Mr. Y is especially concerned about his shortness of breath and hemoptysis. 1.What is the mechanism of action of the NRTI drugs that Mr. Y is taking for his HIV? 2. What is the rationale for the use of combined drug therapy in the treatment of HIV?
Herpes virus has the ability to go dormant inside of host cells. Explain why antibodies alone would not be able to resolve such an infection.

The nurse evaluates the patient’s immunity status and notes that the patient thinks she had her last tetanus booster about 10 years ago, just before starting college. Which immunization would be most appropriate at this time? a) Immunoglobulin intravenous (Gammar-P IV)b )DTaP (Daptacel) (diphtheria, tetanus, and acellular pertussis)c) Tdap (Adacel) (diphtheria, tetanus, and acellular pertussis)d) No immunizations are necessary at this time.arrow_forwardPlease make clear the answer.

- please help me with this question, my teacher gave us this question to prepare us for our exams which are soon and no added information. I'm a bit confused. Can you help me please?!arrow_forwardA friend was recently diagnosed with strep throat. One week after his treatment, he redeveloped the infection. In conversation, your friend tells you, “I must have become immune to the drug the doctor gave me!” a. Discuss the validity of your friend’s statement, providing evidence in support of or refuting his claim. b. After further conversation, your friend tells you that he stopped taking his initial antibiotics after 2 days because he “felt 100% better.” Explain how this action might have played a role in the redevelopment of his infection. c. When he returned to his physician, she ordered a test to determine which antibiotic should be prescribed to treat his reinfection. Summarize a test that could be used to obtain this information.arrow_forward“T-lymphocytes are the most important arm of the immune response in protecting the community against virus infection.” Do you agree with this statement?

- When the patient's mother expresses concern about his sister being reinfected with chickenpox, what is the most appropriate response? A) Your concerns are valid, but his sister developed an active natural immunity to chickenpox because she has already been infected. B) Your concerns are valid and there is a high likelihood that his sister will become infected again. We should probably administer the vaccine. C) Your concerns are valid and there is no way to protect his sister from becoming reinfected except to keep her at least 15 feet from your son at all times. D) Your concerns are valid and if his sister is reinfected, her symptoms will be less severe than her initial chickenpox infection.arrow_forward“T-lymphocytes are the most important arm of the immune response in protecting the community against virus infection.” Do you agree with this statement? Explain your reasoning in detailarrow_forwardYou have a patient who has been injured by a rusty nail. As a precaution, you vaccinate her against tetanus. In response to the vaccine, how does her body produce antibodies against C. tetani and prevent future illness due to tetanus? A)B cells that produce an appropriate antibody undergo genomic rearrangement in order to produce other cells that secrete the same antibody. B)Every cell in her immune system produces antibodies against C. tetani. C)B cells with an appropriate antibody are stimulated to divide, producing plasma cells that make antibodies to C. tetani, and memory cells that "remember" C. tetani. D)Every B cell in her body produces antibodies against C. tetani.arrow_forward
