Max is bitten by a rattlesnake while on a camping trip. His friends immediately apply ice packs to the bitten area to slow the spread of the protein-based toxin; they then rush him to an emergency facility. Upon doing blood work, it was determined that Max had a bacterial infection from a tick bite resulting in a primary humoral response. The doctor told Max that he was lucky because the tick could have also caused Lyme's disease, but he had natural active immunity to that microbe. What immunological-based treatment would be given to address the venom, and why was the treatment chosen? Be sure to use the proper terminology

Max is bitten by a rattlesnake while on a camping trip. His friends immediately apply ice packs to the bitten area to slow the spread of the protein-based toxin; they then rush him to an emergency facility. Upon doing blood work, it was determined that Max had a bacterial infection from a tick bite resulting in a primary humoral response. The doctor told Max that he was lucky because the tick could have also caused Lyme's disease, but he had natural active immunity to that microbe. Max's immune response also includes cellular immunity. Explain how that differs from humoral immunity. Be sure to address the cell types, cell products, and time frame of this response

A 35- year old farmer stepped on a rusty nail and does not remember the last time he had a tetanus shoe. For maximum treatment, he was given a Tetanus toxoid vaccine and tetanus immune globulin. What type of immunity would this treatment confer to the farmer? (Two answers)
A man gets bitten by a rattle snake. The man is rushed to the hospital and they administer to him anti-rattle snake venom. The anti-rattle snake venom is horse antibodies that were raised against rattle snake venom, and it provides immunity against rattle snake venom. Based on what you studied in the lecture: A) what is the type of immunity that antivenom provides? B) Are the antibodies part of the innate or the adaptive immune responses? C) From what you have learned about the properties of antibodies, can this horse anti-rattle snake venom be used as anti-venom to Cobra snake venom? Explain briefly. D) Six months after this incident, the same person got bitten again by a rattle snake. However, at the hospital the doctors were informed that he was previously given horse anti-venom and so they decided that this person cannot be injected again with horse anti-venom, and they had to find an anti-venom not prepared in horse. Explain briefly why he cannot get any horse anti-venom again,…
If you have had mumps or chickenpox before, you aren't going to get those illnesses again in the future. That is because of the specific immunity provided by lymphocytes in the lymphatic system. Briefly describe how specific immunity works. Your answer should include a description of what antigens are and the role that they play as well as the roles played by the different types of lymphocytes. Also, explain why you would have lifelong immunity to certain diseases after you have had them before or have received vaccinations against them.
