Textbook Question
Chapter 15, Problem 6CT
A patient has a genetic disorder that prevents him from synthesizing C8 and C9. What effect does this have on his ability to resist bloodborne Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria? What would happen if C3 and C5 fragments were also inactivated?

How many types of “foreign molecules” (use the proper term where needed) does each cell recognize?
On the pathogen side – what molecules will be recognized by these immune cells? (no need for specific names, just a few examples of pathogen molecules that will trigger an immune response)
Bloodwork indicates that a patient who has pneumonia is actively secreting different forms of antibody against Streptococcus pneumoniae. Explain how the patient can respond to this pathogen by secreting more than one antibody.
Emil has fallen and scratched a wound on his knee. After a while, the knee swells and aches at the same time as it was pushing out of the wound. One week later, the wound has healed and the swelling is gone. Explain what happens in the comic strip below, from Figure 1-6. The following words should be used in the descriptive text; phagocytosis, pattern recognition receptors, pathogen associated molecular patterns, antigen presenting cell, migration, neutrophil, antigen, antibody, opsonization, MAC complex, mechanical barrier, microorganism, lymphatic vessel, memory T cell, helper T cell, B cell, memory B-cell, blood vessel, cardinal sign, lymph node, MHC, T-cell receptor, cell clone, complement, specificity, dendritic cell, macrophage, opsonin, plas

- Before you can start your clinical rotation, you are required to get a tuberculosis (TB) test. The clinician injects a small amount of tuberculin purified protein derivative (PPD) under the skin of your forearm. Within about 30 minutes, you develop a swollen, itchy rash on your forearm where the PPD was injected. What type of hypersensitivity is this? What might have caused this result?arrow_forwardA patient develops a blood infection with a capsule-producing strain of E. coli. Phagocytosis by macrophage will be essential to destroy the bacteria and resolve the infection. Which of the following will be dirertly required to allow ADCC-opsonization of the encapsulated E. coli: O Toll-like receptor (TLR)-induced secretion of tumor necrosis factor alpha O Release of C3a to the extracellular fluids O Presence of MHC II on the surface of the macrophage O Presence of IgG receptors (Fc-gamma-R) on the macrophage All of the answers applyarrow_forwardHow do intracellular microorganisms stimulate cytotoxicT cells? What role do helper T cells play in this process?arrow_forward
- “Good” bacteria help prevent C. difficile infection by occupying the sites on the intestinal wall where C. difficile could attach and multiply. C. difficile produces toxins that activate macrophages and mast cells, cause leukocyte chemotaxis and the production of chemical mediators, which leads to fluid secretion. What type of response(s) is (are) characterized by these processes? Would this be inflammation? Or would it be a cell-mediated response, specific immune response? Or humoral response with T cells perhaps? I'm having a lot of trouble identifying the biological immune mechanism.arrow_forwardThe circulating cytokines that recruit large numbers of phagocytes to the area of inflammation, resulting in pus, are called: O1) pyogens O 2) pyrogens 3) interferons O 4) defensinsarrow_forwardWhich antibody type description among A- D is falsely characterized? A) O IgA: form dimers; prevent adherence of pathogens to mucosal surfaces 1f1 B) O IgG: circulating antibody with multiple functions; formed in high numbers in secondary antibody response C) O IgM: forms multimers whose function is agglutination of infectious microbes D) O IgE, IgD: carry out their function while bound to the surfaces of specific cell types E) O None are false, A-D are all correctarrow_forward
