A scientist hypothesized that her vaccine would stimulate the immune system to attack melanoma (skin cancer) tumors and reduce their growth. To test the hypothesis, 100 melanoma patients were injected with the vaccine in a saline solution (Group A) and 100 melanoma patients were injected with only the saline solution

Question 8. If you were to fix a migrating fish keratocyte with a large lamellipodium and perform immunocytochemistry with antibodies to detect actin, where would you detect the actin?
question: Can you summarize and explain for me what you want to tell in the article below? When I read it myself, I do not understand exactly what is meant by the article. It would be nice if you could highlight the important points. You can use them in a figure or diagram to explain. thank you and hava a nice day :) Article: Photodynamic Inactivation of SARS-CoV-2 In addition to drug- and vaccine-based antiviral strategies, photodynamic therapy (PDT) stands as a unique approach to inactivate SARS-CoV-2. Using a light-based method, PDT attacks target cells via the excitation of photosensitive agents, called photosensitizers (PSs), with radiation characterized by a wavelength corresponding to its absorption spectrum to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the presence of oxygen, which ultimately results in cell death. Photodynamic therapy is primarily used for the clinical treatment of various oncological disorders. It was not until the 1970s that PDT was first used clinically…
In a Cervical Cancer screening program, 500 asymptomatic women were examined using the Pap smear test. 200 of the women who truly had lesions were correctly classified; 14 with lesions were wrongly classified as negative. 253 women who had no lesions were correctly classified; 33 women with no lesions were wrongly reported as positive. (A) Summarise the information provided in an appropirate table. (B) Based on the information above, calculate the Sensitivity, Specificity, Positive and Negative Predictive Values of the Pap smear test.
Question 5 Save Answer Several months after the initial vaccination schedule to achieve COVID immunity, the protection against COVID diminishes, and "boosters" are recommended to re-establish full immune protection. What is the part of the immune response that naturally wanes or diminishes during that time so that boosters are needed? a. Levels of circulating antibodies such as lgG decrease because of their usual half-life in the blood. O b. The antigen processing dendrites stop working because they get tired of doing all that hard work and not getting proper recognition and credit. c. Natural killer cells lose their ability to recognize and kill virus-infected cells. d. The memory B-cells lose the ability to remember the SARS-CoV-2 antigens.
Need detail explanation Scenario: A 56-year-old client was diagnosed with aggressive bone cancer that required a below the knee amputation of the left leg 14 months ago. The client received recommended chemotherapy and radiation, but it was found recently that the cancer has metastasized to the chest and skull. There is lymph node involvement with a primary tumor partially obstructing the right kidney. The client was readmitted 4 days ago for removal of the remaining portion of the left leg and was told that there is no appropriate surgical or medical intervention that would be beneficial at this point in the disease process. The interdisciplinary health care team has recommended palliative care upon discharge since the client’s life expectancy is between 3 and 5 months. The client has developed a mutually respectful relationship with a nurse on the unit who has provided care throughout all previous hospitalizations. The client shares with the licensed practical nurse (LPN) that, “I…
Question 6 Save Answer What immune response would a mild breakthrough infection by the Omicron-variant SARS-CoV- 2 most likely cause in a fully COVID vaccinated person? a. Only T-cells will be stimulated. b. The infection will use up all the residual anti-COVID antibodies. c. With the breakthrough infection, the COVID-stimulated plasma cells will release interleukins that will cause the natural killer cells to forget to alert the memory B cells to activate the complement system, and then the nose gets runny. d. The infection will give an additional increase in the overall immune response.
Question 1 Nursing. Innate lymphoid cells reside primarily in tissues such as the lungs, the lining of the gastrointestinal tract, and the skin, because these sites represent the major routes of entry of pathogens into the body. Several different subsets of innate lymphoid cells exist, and each is specialized to respond to a category of pathogen (e.g., viruses, extracellular bacteria, helminthic parasites, etc). a) True b) False
Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are cancer cells (found within tumors or hematological cancers) that possess characteristics associated with normal stem cells, specifically the ability to give rise to all cell types found in a particular cancer sample. There are many biomedical engineering based approaches to detect CSCs. 1) What is the importance and advanatge of detecting CSCs? 2) What kind of systems have been developed to detect CSCs? Describe by giving examples.
