Chapter 35, Problem 11TYU
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The reason that the polio vaccine is given to the children even though most neurons of the body are irreplaceable.
Introduction:
Polio virus is the member of the picornaviridae. It is an RNA virus that causes infection that result in the disease polio. Polio is a disease in which the polio virus damages the nerves that leads to the paralysis of the limbs. It is spread through the fecal–oral route.

In order for the cross-presenting dendritic cell to display viral peptides, rather than self peptides on its surface MHC class I proteins, which of the following procedures could be utilized, starting with the components shown in the figure below? Mix epithelial cells with heat-killed virus, wait 24 hrs, wash away any virus particles outside the epithelial cells, then add epithelial cells to dendritic cells. Mix epithelial cells with viral peptides, wait 24 hrs, wash away any viral peptides not bound to the epithelial cells, then add epithelial cells to dendritic cells.

Her GP diagnoses her with a viral infection and tells her to go home, rest and drink plenty of fluids.Question 1A:Name one of the most likely innate immune system receptors to initially detect this infection and where in host cells this receptor is located? Question 1B: Which cytokine primarily drives the innate anti-viral host response? Question 1C: Describe the antiviral signaling events that take place inside an infected cell in response to this cytokine. Question 1D: Provide a biological explanation for why Sarah was more likely to suffer a viral infection during her periodarrow_forwardBecause of similarities between hypoxia associated with high altitude and COVID-19, some studies have suggested that people living at high altitude may be accustom to low blood oxygen levels and therefore less adversely effected by coronavirus infection. Based on your knowledge of acclimation/adaptations to high-altitude, DISCUSS whether you think high altitude hypoxia might protected against coronavirus infection. Justify your answer. Your words may not be more than 100 words.arrow_forward
- An antigen acts is a molecule that acts like a name tag, allowing the immune system to recognize the cell it is attached to. The name tag might say: "Hello I'm... a deadly virus," or “Hello I'm... a healthy human cell." It is very important that an antigen for a deadly virus and a healthy human cell are very different, so that the immune system does not make a mistake and attack healthy human body cells. Which of the following molecules do you think would make good antigens for recognizing a pathogen? Justify your answer. You may choose more than one. 1) a cell wall protein 2) a piece of DNA inside a cell 3) a protein that is part of a flagella 4) a uniquely shaped protein that is part of a virus 5) a protein that is only made by prokaryotic cells 6) a protein that is only made by eukaryotic cellsarrow_forwardTo put an end to the COVID-19 pandemic, vaccines were developed against the virus and people eligible to receive these are encouraged to get vaccinated. How do these vaccines work? * The vaccine will not cause the disease, but will help develop the body’s first line of defense. The vaccine mimics the virus that causes the disease and triggers the creation of antibodies. No answer The presence of the virus in the vaccine will improve the innate immune response of the body. The vaccine causes a mild infection that will trigger the production of antibodies against the virus.arrow_forward1) Ahh! COVID Zombies are attacking us and we have to run for our lives!
