Vaccines typically contain particles that are pieces of the virus or bacteria they target. How do you think this helps you avoid getting sick in the future? a) vaccine-preventable diseases are just part of life. it is better to have the disease than become immune through vaccines b) vaccine programs fail to produce overall health benefits of a population by because they do not reduce the transmission od disease c) the particles act as antibodies, against which the person's immune system will develop antibodies d) the particles act as antigens, against which the person's immune system will develop antibodies e) vaccines create an entirely new immune system

You are designing a phage therapy for a cystic fibrosis patient with an multi-antibiotic resistant Mycobacterium infection. The Mycobacterium infection is preventing the patient from taking immunosuppressant drugs that are needed for a successful lung transplant. The idea is that introducing the right phage to the patient will kill the Mycobacterium cells and allow the patient to go on immunosuppressant drugs that will ensure the new lung is not rejected by the body. You need to find a phage that infects the Mycobacterium you isolated from the patient. Which TWO options have the highest chance of success? A. Screening a colleague's library of known Mycobacterium phages for phage that infect the patient's Mycobacterium isolate b. Choosing likely candidates from analysis of phage 16S rRNA phylogeny in the tree of life C. Isolating new phage from soil using a plaque assay with the Mycobacterium isolate D. Obtaining a very well-studied phage, such as T4 bacteriophage, that…
