- 45. Host defenses In the process called concentration gradients of microbial substances and inflammatory mediators guide phagocytes to the area of microbial invasion. diapedesis chemotaxis margination inflammationarrow_forwardThe formation of the C3 convertase is a key step in complement activation that occurs in all three complement pathways. This enzyme cleaves C3 in blood plasma, leading to a conformational change in the C3b fragment that exposes its reactive thioester group. The activated C3b is potentially harmful to the host, if it becomes covalently attached to a host cell, rather than to the surface of a pathogen. This deleterious outcome is largely avoided by: The inability of active C3b to diffuse away in the blood plasma. The inability of active C3b to covalently attach to the membranes of eukaryotic cells. The rapid hydrolysis of active C3b in solution, rendering it inactive. The tight binding of active C3b to the C3 convertase. The ability of active C3b to recruit phagocytic cells.arrow_forwardAntibodies play a critical role in the prevention of infection by the specific viruses the antibody is designed to detect. Which immune system cell produces antibodies? Indicate four ways that antibodies can disrupt the ability of a virus to infect a cell. PLEASE ANSWER ALL PARTS TO THIS QUESTIONarrow_forward
- Topic: A patient was diagnosed with lymphoma in 2019. The tumor metastasized to multiple sites of the body. In 2020, the same patient was infected with COVID-19. Upon recovery from the infection, the physician performed a CT scan and noticed tumor complete remission. Using your knowledge in immunology, can you described what may have accounted for the complete remission?arrow_forwardForeign cells and tissues, allergens, and the body's own cells that it fails to recognize as normal self are examples of what?arrow_forwardWhich of the following is true about innate immune system? Check all that apply. Rig-I-like receptors have the advantage of recognizing viruses by interacting with their spike proteins TLR signaling includes NF-kB pathways to induce synthesis of proinflammatory cytokines TLR binds to dsDNA or ssRNA to induce interferon gene expression PRR induced secretion of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines have local and systemic effects PRR induces innate immunity; phagocytosis, inflammation, type I interferon production, and regulate adaptive immunity; DC maturation, costimulatory molecules, type I interferonarrow_forward
- Why can humanized anti-PD-1 is a new powerful immunotherapy for threating cancer?arrow_forwardfrom the figure, explain how rapid pH change mechanism serves as a defense against infectionarrow_forwardAll of the following are true of the lymphatic system, EXCEPT: Lymphatic capillaries lie in close physical proximity to arterial and venous capillaries None of the other four answers (all are true of the lymphatic system) Lymph nodes are located at lymphatic vessel junctions It brings microbial antigens into contact with immunologically active cells (lymphocytes and macrophages) Its only important function is to carry interstitial fluid back to the circulatory systemarrow_forward
- A patient recently underwent a transplant and first shows success. About two months after the surgery the patient comes in with complaints and issues are arising due to the transplant surgery. What type of hypersensitivity is occurring? How would you distinguish which type of rejection is taking place?
