Question
Chapter 43, Problem 11TYU
Summary Introduction
To explain: The feasibility of treating septic shock with a drug that blocks TLR signaling.
Introduction: The defense system of the organism depends on the effectiveness of their immune system. Organisms have acquired many mechanisms of defense system that protects from pathogens. The innate immune response of invertebrates is specific for a particular group of pathogens. Once bound to receptor of a pathogen molecule, recognition protein initiates the immune response that kills the specific pathogens.

Inhibitory receptors on lymphocytes down-regulate immune responses by recruiting protein or lipid phosphatases.BCR signaling on B cells is initiated by antigen binding, leading to mTOR activation. This occurs, for instance, when the antigen is a live microbe that binds to the BCR on the B cells. Which one of the forms of antigen shown below the graph would correctly account for the data shown in the figure?
To put an end to the COVID-19 pandemic, vaccines were developed against the virus and people eligible to receive these are encouraged to get vaccinated. How do these vaccines work? *
The vaccine will not cause the disease, but will help develop the body’s first line of defense.
The vaccine mimics the virus that causes the disease and triggers the creation of antibodies.
No answer
The presence of the virus in the vaccine will improve the innate immune response of the body.
The vaccine causes a mild infection that will trigger the production of antibodies against the virus.
Based on these data, where would you MOST likely find toll-like receptor-XX (TLR-XX) among the following options? Justify WHY you selected that option.Your justification must be based on the data that are presented here, not the type of bacteria.
A. On the cell surface
B. In the endosome/ lysosome
C. In the nucleus
D. In the mitochondria
E. In the endoplasmic reticulum

- Virus infections induce production of interferons that act on infected cells to enhance their recognition by CD8 cytotoxic T cells. To counter these mechanisms, viruses often encode proteins that interfere with antigen processing and presentation. In an experiment, cells infected with Virus X are treated with interferon and compared with uninfected cells treated with interferon. Proteasomes are isolated from the two cell populations and their enzymatic activities are compared. The data in figure below show the amino acid preferences for cleavage of peptides by the two samples of proteasomes. Based on these data, Virus X most likely encodes a protein that interferes with: The expression of MHC class I on the surface of the infected cell The rate at which peptides are produced from intact proteins in the infected cell The transport of peptides from the cytosol to the endoplasmic reticulum in the infected cell The replacement of constitutive proteasome subunits with immunoproteasome…arrow_forwardYou are studying SARS-COV2. You identify a viral protein that results in the decrease of MHC class I, a cell surface receptor, on the cell surface. You are trying to determine the mechanism for how the virus is decreasing cell surface MHC I. You decide to do an experiment to determine whether the receptor is making it all of the way through the secretory pathway. You take two samples of cells. 1. Uninfected 2. Infected with SARS-CoV2 You treat them with EndoH and analyze MHC I on a western blot and get the following results: 1. Uninfected cells - 50% of protein is endo H sensitive and 50% is Endo H resistant 2. SARS-COV2 infected cells - 100% of protein is Endo H sensitive How would you best interpret these results? Is MHC I going all the way through the secretory pathway in infected cells? A. No, MHC I is not going all the way through the secretory pathway. 100% of the protein is EndoH sensitive in infected cells, this means that the virus is somehow inhibiting the protein from making…arrow_forwardWould it be effective to use an inhibitor of RNA polymerase to block the HIV replication cycle and subsequent infection of human T cells? Yes, this would stop the transcription of viral genes and prevent HIV from being able to replicate. No, these types of inhibitors do not exist and would be impossible to make. No, this would block transcription of T cell genes, leading to the death of T cells and compromised immune systems in individuals. Yes, inhibitors of RNA polymerase are easy and relatively inexpensive to produce and make good therapeutics.arrow_forward
- Individuals or mice with defects in the biochemical pathways needed for loading peptides onto MHC molecules show greatly increased susceptibility to virus infections. Experiments examining the MHC molecules present on the surface of host cells in these individuals would show: Normal numbers of MHC molecules expressed on host cells, but no peptides bound to them. Very low levels of total MHC proteins expressed on the cell surface. Normal numbers of MHC proteins on the surface but all of them bound to self-peptides not pathogen peptides. Very high levels of total MHC proteins expressed on the cell surface. Only virus-infected cells expressing high levels of MHC proteins on the cell surface.arrow_forwardNaive T cells are isolated and left untreated or treated with ‘compound X’ for 1 hour. Following this, the T cells are incubated with a range of concentrations of a soluble form of ICAM-1 that has been conjugated to a fluorescent dye (soluble-ICAM-1-FITC). Fifteen minutes later, the cells are washed, and the relative amount of fluorescence bound to the cells is measured. The results of this assay are shown in the figure below. The most likely identity of compound X is: The adhesion molecule, LFA-1 The adhesion molecule, L-selectin The sulfated carbohydrate structure, sulfated sialyl-LewisX The chemokine ligand for CCR7 The immunoglobulin superfamily member, CD2arrow_forwardWould you predict that TLR-XX is able to recognize other types of Gram-negative bacteria, in addition to the one that was used in this experiment?

In fact, nearly all vaccines currently in use function by eliciting neutralizing antibodies. One example is the tetanus vaccine, in which neutralizing antibodies are generated against an inactivated form of the tetanus toxin (the tetanus toxoid). The most important feature of a neutralizing antibody is having high affinity for the antigen. being efficient at activating the complement cascade. having a high degree of multivalency, such as being a pentamer or hexamer of immunoglobulin monomers. being present at a high concentration in the circulation. 0 0 0 0arrow_forward
