Summary Introduction

To describe:

External barriers to infection and their functions.

Introduction:

External barriers of infections are skin and mucus membrane. Skin is a barrier to microorganisms. The mucous membranes cover all body cavities which open towards outside. The skin and mucous membrane of the body are the first line defense. They act non-specifically against pathogens.

Summary Introduction

To name:

The major components of innate immune response and also describe the way through which each of them combats invasion by microbes.

Introduction:

When external barrier has broken, a combination of a variety of nonspecific internal defenses is generated which is termed as an innate immune response. It consists of white blood cells that engulf and kill foreign cells or pathogens, and other chemicals and proteins cause inflammation and fever.

Summary Introduction

To describe:

The reason why external barriers and the innate immune response are nonspecific.

Introduction:

Vertebrates involve nonspecific external barrier and innate immune response as lines of defense. Nonspecific external barrier involves anatomical structure such as skin and cilia, and secretions of saliva, tears, and mucus. When external barrier has broken, a combination of a variety of nonspecific internal defenses is generated which is termed as “innate immune response”.

You aim to test the hypothesis that the Tbx4 and Tbx5 genes inhibit each other's expression during limb development. With access to chicken embryos and viruses capable of overexpressing Tbx4 and Tbx5, describe an experiment to investigate whether these genes suppress each other's expression in the limb buds. What results would you expect if they do repress each other? What results would you expect if they do not repress each other?
You decide to delete Fgf4 and Fgf8 specifically in the limb bud. Explain why you would not knock out these genes in the entire embryo instead.
You implant an FGF10-coated bead into the anterior flank of a chicken embryo, directly below the level of the wing bud. What is the phenotype of the resulting ectopic limb?  Briefly describe the expected expression domains of 1) Shh, 2) Tbx4, and 3) Tbx5 in the resulting ectopic limb bud.
