If the thymus of an adult experimental animal is removed, the following observations can be made: (a) No immediate effect occurs, and (b) after 1 year, decreases occur in the number of lymphocytes in the blood, the ability to reject grafts, and the ability to produce antibodies. Explain these observations.
(56) A 1 year old boy dies of staphylococcal pneumonia. He has had multiple skin infections since birth. Separation of the umbilical cord was delayed. A skin window test was performed and no leukocyte accumulated on the cover ship. The cytometric analysis showed that only 5% of the T lymphocytes reacted with a monoclonal antibody to leukocyte functional antigen-1 chain (CD 18) compared with reactivity of 62 % for a normal subject. Just prior to death, his leukocyte count was 75,000/mm3. Which of the following is the most likely diagnosis?
(A) AIDS
(B) Cogenital Asplenia
(C)Leukocyte Adhesion Deficiency
(D) Severe Combined Immunodeficiency Disease
(E) X linked agammaglobulinemia
(38) Following a rattle snake bite, a patient is injected with horse anti-rattlesnake venom serum. Ten days later he has general weakness, headaches, muscular and joint pains, and dark urine. Laboratory studies show proteinuria. Serum concentrations of immunoglobulins are within the reference range, but serum C3 and C4 concentrations are decreased. Which of the following is the most likely pathological process?
(A) Anaphylactic Reaction
(B) Delayed Hypersensitivity to horse protei
(C) Formation of antigen-antibody complexes containing horse proteins and human immunoglobulin
(D) Formsation of antigen-antibody complexes containing snake venom proteins and a horse antibody
(E) Systemic reaction to snake venom

- Can you please help me with this chart and explain what serum antibodies are?arrow_forwardAntigen is injected through vaccination into the same site as a previous injection of that same antigen. Antibody-antigen complexes deposit in basement membranes of the epithelial tissues. Neutrophils infiltrate and degranulate, destroying tissue in that localized area. What is the name for this reaction? O 1) granulomatous reaction 2) arthus reaction 3) serum sickness 4) contact dermatitisarrow_forwardWould pneumococcal pneumonia require a TH cell to stimulate a B cell to form antibodies?arrow_forward
- Hello, please answer the following Physiology question correctly. Please do not give a very long answer. Thanks. Physiology Question: "What type of antibodies are present in the serum of a person with type O blood?" ."arrow_forwardAn infant appears healthy until about 9 months of age, when he develops severe bacterial infections, one after another. Fortunately, theinfections are treated successfully with antibiotics. When infectedwith the measles and other viral diseases, the infant recovers withoutunusual difficulty. Explain the different immune responses to theseinfections. Why did it take so long for this disorder to become apparent? (Hint: Consider IgG.)arrow_forwardMatch the class of antibody with its appropriate structure/function. 1st choice This dimeric antibody is responsible for localized protection on mucosal surfaces. 2nd choice This monomeric antibody functions is mediating the allergic response. 3rd choice This monomeric antibody presence on B cells functions in initiation of the immune response. 4th choice This monomeric antibody enhances phagocytosis, neutralizes toxins and viruses, and protects fetus and newborn. 5th choice This pentameric antibody is especially effective against microorganisms; first antibodies produced in response to initial infection.

- (i) Serum sickness belongs to what type of hypersensitivity? What causes serum sickness? (ii) Serum sickness does begin immediately upon the production of anti-BSA antibodies. How does the amount of antibody present relate to the formation of large or small immune complexes? Explain which of these would trigger serum sickness?arrow_forwardIf a person is given a transfusion with the wrong blood type, what mechanism of action is responsible for the reaction seen in the body? O 1) IgE binds to mast cells releasing cytokines 2) Antigen-antibody complexes (IgG, IgM and IgA) lodge in basement membranes of tissues, neutrophil degranulation damages the tissues O 3) T cells respond to the inappropriate cells 4) IgG and IgM bind to cells stimulating complement, triggering cell lysisarrow_forwardHow does the general principle of physiology apply at the molecular level in the case of immunoglobulins?arrow_forward
- Apply your knowledge: 1) A patient with B+ blood will have B and Rh Antigen. How about A-, AB+,0-? 2) A patient with B+ blood will have anti-A in the Plasma. How about A-, AB+, 0-? 3) Blood type that does not have antigens on the surface do not have antigens for antibodies to bind to. This blood type is the universal donor. Which blood does not have surface antigen and is the universal donor? 4) Blood type that has all the antigens do not make antibodies in their plasma. This type of blood does not have antibodies to bind to blood. This blood type is the universal recipient. Which blood type does not have antibodies and is the universal recipient? 18-14arrow_forwardA mother has two children. The first was born perfectly healthy while the second one was born with rashes, showed clumping and lysis of blood. Based upon this information how would you classify this disorder? What type of antibody-antigen interaction is this and why? Explain how this disorder arises.arrow_forwardIn hemolytic disease of the newborn please explain how the key immune components develop normally and are regulated to maintain health in the absence of disease? Identify particular cells or proteins, where these cells or proteins originate and how specificity is established. How they function in immune system, describe how the functions of these components are regulated normally. Example How they are activated and inactivated and how tolerance to self is established.arrow_forward
