Neutrophils are best described as:
(a) Phagocytic, have bilobed nucleus and are small (2-5 microns)
(b) Respond to chemokines and are primary defense against bacteria
(c) Long-lived phagocytic cells.
why?
T 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?
Therapeutic agents are currently being investigated that block the action of selectins in order to prevent the pathological effects resulting from leukocyte entry into sites of inflammation. These agents are molecules that inhibit selectin. Describe molecules that might be effective. (Information: Glycoproteins are an important class of proteins. There are many families of glycoproteins: lectins and selectins are examples.)

- Eileen presents with flu-like symptoms, including fever, chills,and body aches:- a. What part of the immune response is likely producing these symptoms? b. You order blood work and find that the number of neutrophils in the blood is greatly elevated. What does this tell you about the likely type of pathogen involved? Explain. c. What might it mean if lymphocytes instead of neutrophils were elevated? Explain your reasoningarrow_forwardInnate 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.
