What is the significance of the level of IgM antibodies in clinical diagnosis?
Antigen is injected through vaccination into the same site as a previous injection of
that same antigen. Antibody-antigen complexes deposit in basement membranes of
the epithelial tissues. Neutrophils infiltrate and degranulate, destroying tissue in that
localized area. What is the name for this reaction?
O
1) granulomatous reaction
2) arthus reaction
3) serum sickness
4) contact dermatitis
A person with type A+ blood gets a transfusion
with type O- blood. What is most likely to happen
to the recipient?
A) The recipient's blood will agglutinate
(clump) due to the presence of natural
antibodies in the recipient's blood.
B) Nothing because the donor's blood is
compatible with the recipient's blood.
C) The recipient's blood will agglutinate
(clump) due to the presence of natural
antigens on the recipient's blood cells.

Explain these observations.arrow_forward(56) A 1 year old boy dies of staphylococcal pneumonia. He has had multiple skin infections since birth. Separation of the umbilical cord was delayed. A skin window test was performed and no leukocyte accumulated on the cover ship. The cytometric analysis showed that only 5% of the T lymphocytes reacted with a monoclonal antibody to leukocyte functional antigen-1 chain (CD 18) compared with reactivity of 62 % for a normal subject. Just prior to death, his leukocyte count was 75,000/mm3. Which of the following is the most likely diagnosis? (A) AIDS (B) Cogenital Asplenia (C)Leukocyte Adhesion Deficiency (D) Severe Combined Immunodeficiency Disease (E) X linked agammaglobulinemiaarrow_forward

Examination of the finger shows the splinter end, extending from the fingertip; the surrounding area is erythematous, Edematous,and tender. Which off the following molecules, has a primary role in mobilizing neutrophils from the vasculature into the area of the splinter? A) complement component 3B B) C-reactive protein C) factor 12( hageman factor) D) fibrinopeptide E) intracellular adhesion molecule onearrow_forwardThere is a variety of organs routinely transplanted in clinical medicine.

- Based on what you know about the cells of the immune system, do you suspect this patient to have an infection, and if so, what is a probable cause? Choose the best answer and explain. a) Yes, a possible viral infection is indicated. b) Yes, a possible fungal infection is indicated. c) Yes, a possible bacterial infection is indicated. d) No, an infection is not indicated.arrow_forwardHistological examination of a patient's lymph node showed an absence of germinal centers but with intact primary follicles, and reduced cellularity of the parafollicular cortex. This pattern is most consistent with which type of immunodeficiency? Explain.arrow_forwardIf a person is given a transfusion with the wrong blood type, what mechanism of action is responsible for the reaction seen in the body? O 1) IgE binds to mast cells releasing cytokines 2) Antigen-antibody complexes (IgG, IgM and IgA) lodge in basement membranes of tissues, neutrophil degranulation damages the tissues O 3) T cells respond to the inappropriate cells 4) IgG and IgM bind to cells stimulating complement, triggering cell lysisarrow_forward
