Summary Introduction
To describe: What does the action of Jenner using cowpox virus to induce an immune response against smallpox tell regarding the antigenic properties of two different viruses.
Introduction: The smallpox disease, caused by the variola virus, was a fatal disease common in the earlier centuries. Edward Jenner proposed the thought that cowpox infection could provide immunity against smallpox. His procedure of infecting a known harmless substance to confer immunity to a rather lethal infection is referred to as vaccination.

What are the immune responses to viral infections? What is the difference between epidemic and pandemic? The “Spanish Flu” in 1918 was caused by the H1N1 influenza virus. What do the “H” and “N” stand for?
What is one reason SARS-CoV-2 can remain undetected in a person?
a.)it isn't able to replicate unless you are also sick with another type of virus
b.)its genome produces proteins that prevent our immune system from noticing it
c.)it causes your immune system to shut down
d.)it is prevented from infecting a cell for one year after entering your body
You have a patient who has been injured by a rusty nail. As a precaution, you vaccinate her against tetanus.
In response to the vaccine, how does her body produce antibodies against C. tetani and prevent future illness due to tetanus?
A)B cells that produce an appropriate antibody undergo genomic rearrangement in order to produce other cells that secrete the same antibody.
B)Every cell in her immune system produces antibodies against C. tetani.
C)B cells with an appropriate antibody are stimulated to divide, producing plasma cells that make antibodies to C. tetani, and memory cells that "remember" C. tetani.
D)Every B cell in her body produces antibodies against C. tetani.

To measure the cytotoxicity of CD8+ T cells from Mouse A, he isolates CD8+ T cells from Mouse A and co-cultures them with a mixture of HSV-infected spleen cells from Mouse B. A day later, he checks the co-culture, but none of the infected spleen cells from Mouse B have been killed. What could explain this observation? a.Mouse B does not express the invariant chain (Ii) b.Mouse A and Mouse B express different MHC alleles c.Mouse A does not express TLR2/6 d.HSV immunoevasins block MHC-II expressionarrow_forward
