Question:- Most WBCs of the adaptive immune system generally reside in either lymph nodes or the spleen in the absence of an infection. How do adaptive WBCs use their own surface proteins to migrate to these designated locations? Why would they be able to go to these designated locations whether an infection is occurring or not? How do these features of adaptive cells relate to their roles as slow responders with very precise specificity for non-self microbes?

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
Question:- Place these in the order in which they occur in the immune system. What order do these events relating to effector responses occur in? Activated B cells leave lymph nodes and move into bloodstream Activated B and T cells exit the blood stream at the site of infection Activated T cells leave lymph nodes and move into bloodstream Activated Tcytotoxic cells look for and kill infected self cells Antibodies bind directly to non-self microbes Antibodies help improve phagocytosis (‘opsonization’) Antibodies leak out of bloodstream at site of infection Antibodies secreted in lymph node travel through bloodstream Memory B and T cells patrol around the body looking to be activated by the same microbial substances that activated them in the first place.
Please could you explain how lymphocytes (especially B) can maintain receptors on their surfaces? Is this genetically related? If so, when the lymphocytes are first exposed to the antigens, how could the antigen receptor be synthesized? Is there a mutation within the nuclei of these lymphocytes when they learn to make the receptors? If there is, can you explain how this occurs?
Some primitive organisms, such as invertebrates, have no lymphocytes and thus lack an adaptive immune system, but they have somecomponents of an innate immune system, including phagocytes andcertain protective proteins. What are some general features of innateimmunity that make it very valuable to organisms lacking more specific antibody- and cell-mediated responses? What are some disadvantages to having only an innate immune system?
Immunology List the CD4+ T lymphocytes lineages? What determines CD4+ T lymphocyte differentiation? Which responses are suppressive? Which responses clear intracellular pathogens? Which responses clear extracellular pathogens? How do helper cells help macrophages? CD8+ T cells? B cells?
The entry of naive T cells from the blood into lymph nodes and mucosal lymphoid tissues occurs by a process that involves similar steps and similar adhesion molecules to the process by which leukocytes are recruited into sites of inflammation. Yet naive T cells do not enter tissues at sites of inflammation, but rather, home to lymphoid tissues. Which class of adhesion molecules direct the specific homing of naive T cells to lymphoid tissues?
The current view in the field of immunology is that dendritic cells are the primary antigen-presenting cells for stimulating naive T cells. One piece of evidence supporting this conclusion is the observation that IRF8-deficient individuals, which retain their tissue-resident macrophages, are susceptible to a range of severe opportunistic infections caused by intracellular bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Explain the reasoning behind this argument.
A 39-year-old woman with rheumatoid arthritis comes to the physician for a follow-up examination. Treatment with multiple medications, including prednisone and methotrexate, has not been effective at slowing the progress of her condition. The most appropriate next step in pharmacotherapy is a drug that blocks the effects of which of the following cytokines? Entaracept : Fusion protein- decoy receptor A) Interferon gamma B) Interleukin-2 (IL-2) C) IL-4 D) IL-10 E) Tumor necrosis factor-a found
Please answer fast and Immunocompromised patients have a weakened immune system and are more likely to get severe infection. For instance, the mortality rate of the immunocompromised patients with respiratory compromise are estimated between 30% and 90%. (a) Explain the issues in control of infection for critical and immunocompromised patients in hospital. (b) Discuss the control measures in reducing the risk of infection among the critical and immunocompromised patients in hospital.
Helper T cells are affected by HIV, how come is this receptor key to the immune system? which line of defense are we referring to? How is it connected to the immune system and which line of defense? Hence, based on your prompt, how are cytokines linked to the defense mechanism of HIV virus? Do you know or can you explain the cascade of events dealing with PAMPS, TLRs, interferon? What do they have to do with the second line of defense?
This week you learned about the role that macrophages, neutrophils, and cytokines play in the innate immune response and looked at how they contribute to the development of inflammation and the inflammatory and the acute phase response. In certain bacterial illnesses, particularly lung infections with Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a physician may not treat the patient with antibiotics (which will kill the microorganisms), but rather give the patient anti-inflammatory medications. Why might a physician choose to inhibit inflammation in the case of an infection? What types of damage might the inflammatory response do to the surrounding tissues, not just the bacteria it was designed to combat?
True/False: Neutrophils regulate the production of active cathelicidins (a class of antimicrobial peptides) by segregating the inactive propeptide from the processing enzyme that cleaves and activates it in two different types of cytoplasmic granules. These two types of granules are induced to fuse with phagosomes after ingestion of microbes, bringing the processing enzyme and the propeptide together.
