When we get sick we trust our immune system to protect us, but what happens when that system goes awry and ends up killing patients? Question: What is Cytokine Storm, and how does it work? What happens during the immune response to the Corona virus, which results in a high number of deaths? Analyze and give a brief report

Which of the following is true about the immune system? CHeck all that apply. Neutrophils are abundant granulocytes that phagocytose bacteria, whereas eosinophils eliminate helminth parasites Anatomic barriers include epithelial cells, macrophages, dendritic cells Dendritic cells and macrophages are phagocytic cells that can present antigen T lymphocytes Innate immune cells are macrophages, granulocytes, natural killer cells and adaptive immune cells are B and T cells B and T cells originate from myeloid progenitor, whereas monocytes and neutrophils from lymphoid progenitor.
Imagine a new viral infection has emerged in the southwestern U.S. The virus has distinct surface properties such that prior infections with other viruses is not providing immunity against this virus and it starts to spread rapidly. Diagram and/or describe the major steps of immune response to infection by this virus. Include both the innate and adaptive immune responses. How do antibodies help block viral infection? Once the virus enters a cell it is no longer accessible to antibodies or immune cells. What type of T cells are most important for this stage of infection? How do these T cells recognize infected cells and stop the infection?

What occurs in a cell-mediated immune response? Select all that apply. Naive B cells bind to antigen on the surface of a bacterium and become activated. A dendritic cell incorporates digested viral antigen-MHC complexes. Naive cytotoxic T cells bind to antigen on antigen-presenting dendritic cells and become activated. Effector cytotoxic T cells circulate through the body and kill any body cells that display the viral antigen-MHC complexes.
