In some viral infections, interferons, which are hydrophilic, are secreted by some white blood cells. These bind nearby cells causing uninfected cells to produce protective antiviral proteins. Based on this information, what type of signaling molecule are interferons? - Autocrine - Hormonal - Neural - Paracrine - Neurohormone
The experience of stress can ______ immune function and _____ contraction of an infection. A. facilitate; suppress B. suppress; suppress C. suppress; facilitate D. suppress; delay E. facilitate; facilitate
Some strains of the human papilloma virus (HPV) are resistant to interferons. If HPV can inhibit interferon binding to cells, what advantage does this give the virus? Question 2 options: Antiviral proteins will not be synthesized in neighbouring cells. Interferons will be released by non-infected neighbouring cells. Interferons will bind to the virus to neurtralize it. Interferons tell the virus-infected cells to apoptose. The viruses will be warned that a host is coming.
Explain why each choice (a-d) is correct or incorrect. Which of the following examples below describes an autoimmune disease? a. Infection and death of T helper cells by a virus, resulting in a loss of adaptive immunity b. Release of bacterial endotoxins that block acetylcholine release result in muscle paralysis. c. Antibody binding to acetylcholine receptors of the motor end plate resulting in muscle weakness. d. Uncontrolled cell division resulting in cell surface abnormalities recognized by NK cells.

Explain why each choice (a-d) is correct or incorrect. All but one of the following occurs during the inflammatory response. Select the example below that does NOT describe the process of inflammation. a. Inflammation increases capillary permeability. b. Chemotaxis draws leucocytes to the site of injury. c. Vasoconstriction prevents excessive blood loss due to injury. d. Release of prostaglandins results in pain.
During the chemotaxis phase of the inflammatory response,a. C-reactive protein is secreted by damaged parenchymal cells in the tissue, which attracts neutrophils, which secrete leukotrienes and prostaglandins to attract macrophages; a purulent exudate is formed.b. Band cells respond to hyperthermia by producing TNF-α and interleukins, which then cause a left shift that results in the accumulation of neutrophils within the tissue.c. Damaged parenchymal cells release prostaglandins and leukotrienes to attract macrophages, causing a left shift and the formation of a purulent exudate.d. Cytokines, such as TNF-α, are released by damaged parenchymal cells, while leukotrienes and prostaglandins produced by neutrophils cause smooth muscle constriction and the further accumulation of leukocytes.
