Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Immune system of the human body is divided into two main branches namely the innate immunity and the adaptive immunity. Innate or the body’s first defense mechanism is present since birth and this defense mechanism is non-specific, which means it acts as a barrier in for every foreign body irrespective of its structure. Adaptive immunity of the body comes in later stages, when the body is introduced to pathogens. It is a specific type of defense mechanism.

- 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_forwardDescribe a drug therapy that has been used for patients infected with SARS COV2.

During the course of infection, HIV increases immune activation by altering intestinal physiology to let more microbes into the blood supply. b. Immune evasion increases in many infections due to HIV virions evolving new and unrecognizable epitopes (antigens). c. In many individuals the virus population evolves to use different receptors to gain access to a greater diversity of host immune cells. d. HIV causes enhanced replication and proliferation of T cells, which allows the immune system to work better at defending against pathogens.arrow_forward
