- Influenza virus causes serious disease and death, and is responsible for one of the largest pandemics in recorded history. However, the process by which antigens are made and processed are not unique to that virus. Answer the following questions to trace how infected cells will become recognizable by the TCR of a compatible T-cell. A) Where are the viral proteins made? B) Describe the process by which viral proteins are broken down into peptides. Be sure to discuss any unique molecules or organelles that participate in the process. C) Which MHC molecule presents these peptides? D) Now that you have made peptides from the viral antigen, how do they get to and bind to the MHC molecule? Describe the process. What unique molecules are involved in this process? E) What is the final destination for these molecules/epitopes, and how do they reach that destination?arrow_forwardA 10 year old girl is sent to the school nurse one hour after getting a splinter on her right index finger.. Examination of the finger shows the splinter end, extending from the fingertip; the surrounding area is erythematous, Edematous,and tender. Which off the following molecules, has a primary role in mobilizing neutrophils from the vasculature into the area of the splinter? A) complement component 3B B) C-reactive protein C) factor 12( hageman factor) D) fibrinopeptide E) intracellular adhesion molecule onearrow_forwardHelper T cells: A) produce antibodies B) can act as memory cells C) initiate both the cell mediated response and the humoral response D) all of the abovearrow_forward
- Why does antibody titer rise after infection? Is ahigh antibody titer indicative of an ongoing infection?Explainarrow_forwardTwo newly developed vaccine candidates (A and B) are tested in mice for their ability to elicit high concentrations of anti-meningococcal antibodies that would provide mucosal as well as bloodstream protection. Also, the ideal candidate vaccine should also provide long-lasting immunity to the infection. The figure below shows the responses to a primary, followed by a secondary immunization to each of the two candidate vaccines. a) Which candidate vaccine elicits the preferred response? What are the three aspects of the preferred response that make it the candidate vaccine of choice? b) What is the likely composition of each vaccine and what evidence from the information above are used to lead to your conclusions? c) To confirm the choice of the preferred candidate vaccine, what type of additional information from the vaccine trials in mice shown above would support this conclusion? Name two additional features of the secondary antibody response to each candidate vaccine that could be…arrow_forwardWhat is the role of histamine in inflammation? A)Histamine increases the volume of blood flow in the area of the infection. B)All these choices are correct. C)Histamine signals to neutrophils to migrate to the site of infection. D)Histamine makes it easier for neutrophils to move from the bloodstream to the site of infection.arrow_forward
- 3) Name each of these cells. A) These immune cells make antibodies. B) These phagocytes destroy helminths and fungi and play a role in allergies. C) These lymphocytes play a role in the innate response to kill virally infected cells and cancer cells. D) These innate cells are phagocytes that present and activate T cells and activate wound repair. E) These granulocytes are the first cells from the blood to the site of infection. F) These phagocytes present antigens to naïve mature T cells.arrow_forward(Please answer all parts, thank you!) 1) Mature red blood cells contain hemoglobin for transporting oxygen but contain little else. They lack a nucleus and most organelles. Are red blood cells more or less likely to be infected by a virus? a) More likely b) Less likely 2) How does SARS-COV-2 genetic material get replicated? a) Host cell DNA polymerase b) Host cell RNA polymerase c) RNA polymerase encoded for by viral genome and built in the host cell d) RNA polymerase encoded for by viral genome and originated from the virus 3) How does SARS-COV-2 proteins get built? a) The host cell's ribosome b) Ribosome encoded for by viral genome and built in host cellarrow_forwardUse the following choices for the next set of questions. A choice may be used zero or more times: a)Complement b) B cells c) T cells d) more than one of these 6)Part of the innate immune response 7)Often found concentrated in the lymph nodes 8)Expresses MHC Class I 9)Can be a plasma cell 10) Capable of inducing cytotoxicity of self cells 11) Directly participates in ADCC 12) Forms membrane attack complex 13) Undergoes affinity maturation 14) Produces molecules capable of neutralizing soluble toxins in serum 15) Undergoes somatic hypermutation 16) Produces molecules which serve as opsonins 17) Relies on immunologic signal transduction for proper operation 18) Undergoes clonal expansion 19) Considered part of the endothelium 20) Capable of producing granzymearrow_forward
- All of the following are true concerning the Alere HIV test except: a)this test can detect infection 10 days post exposure b)the presence of three lines on the test indicates a positive reaction for anitgen and antibody against HIV c)unlike Oraquick the test is run with blood sample only and not oral fluid d)the presence of a single line indicates that a person has antibodies but no antigen for HIV e)this is a test that is considered both a direct and indirect test for HIV diagnosisarrow_forwardT cells can differentiate into 5 different subsets of helper T cells. Answer the following questions for TH1 cells: A) In general, list three unique factors that differentiate the TH1 subset from the other subsets. B) For each of those factors identified in A, provide one specific example that applies to TH1 cells. C) What type of pathogens are targeted by the TH1 cells?arrow_forwardyou need a flu shot every year/season because (HA-haemoagglutinin; NA-neuroaminidase) A) the virus can change its HA and NA every year, so a new shot is needed to teach your immune system how to recognize the changed HA and NA B) flu virus gets rid of its HA and NA and replace them with completely new ones every year C) your immune system weakens after a year-so you have to get another shot to get the system strong enough to attack the virus D)antigen shift occurs every yeararrow_forward
