Chapter 36.4, Problem 1MI
Summary Introduction
To determine: The wells that show hemagglutination as characterized by cellular clumping.
Introduction: Hemagglutination involves the aggregation of RBCs and occurs due to the cross-linking of antibodies to the red blood cells through the association of surface antigens which forms the principle of the blood typing analysis.

- Interferons can slow down viral replication by inhibiting protein synthesis in in body cells. a.) true b.) falsearrow_forwardLet’s say there are two closely related viruses, let’s call them Guernsey virus and Micro virus. These two viruses only infect epithelial cells. Their surface antigens are sufficiently similar that there are a number of shared epitopes between the two viruses. Choose one of the following: A) If you get infected and successfully recover from one virus, it’s quite possible that you’ll have neutralizing antibodies against the other. B) If you get infected and successfully recover from one virus, you’ll still be susceptible to the other one because the antigens aren’t exactly the same. C) If you get infected and successfully recover from one virus, it’s likely that getting infected with the other virus will be worse because of the common phenomena of antibody-dependent enhancement. D) Not enough information has been given.arrow_forwardAntigenic shifts in influenza viruses are represented by dra-matic changes in the viral antigens.
