Summary Introduction

To determine:

How does cyclosporine prevent rejection of transplanted organs.

Introduction:

Cyclosporine drugs are given to the patient who undergoes organ transplantation. Cyclosporine is responsible for the inhibition of cytokine secretion which stimulates helper T cell to divide and proliferate to induce an immune response against nonself cells.

Summary Introduction

To hypothesize:

A hypothesis to explain the phenomenon that why patients who received cyclosporine following transplants develop various kinds of cancers many years later.

Introduction:

To reduce the risk of organ transplant failure cyclosporine drugs are given to the patient who undergoes organ transplantation. It inhibits cytokine secretion which is responsible for the stimulation of immune response. But after many years these patients develop cancers.

Mycobacteria are intracellular pathogens that have adapted to life inside phagocytic cells, such as macrophages. These intracellular bacteria are taken up by phagocytosis, similar to other pathogens, but the bacteria are not killed. One possible mechanism that could account for this immune evasion by mycobacteria is their ability to: Prevent induction of nitric oxide production in the phagosome Prevent the acidification of phagosomes Prevent the expression of antimicrobial peptides in the phagosome Prevent fusion of phagosomes with lysosomes Kill the macrophage before it kills them
Which of the following statements are TRUE about the process of inflammation? (Select all that apply)     Inflammation can occur with only the innate immune response involved.     Leukocytes or white blood cells are found everywhere in the body to carry out inflammation as needed     Growth factor from non-skin cells is responsible for the formation of scar tissue in place of the damaged skin cells     The increase of warmed blood to a site of injury comes from the hypothalamus      Phagocytes engulf invading microbes and dead white blood cells      Phagocytosis is used during inflammation to make sure there is no debris
