__________________________________________________ cells can help prevent autoimmune diseases.
The antigen receptor on a B cell is essentially a membrane-bound ____________________________.
If a cell of yours lacks MHCs, ______________________________________ (specific kind of cell) might cause its death
_________________________________ is the name of the migration activity by a neutrophil, e.g., when it is physiologically driven to move toward molecules at an area of injury. Its temporary binding and unbinding to sticky endothelial cell adhesion molecules on their way is called _______________________________________. When it enters the injured or infected tissue space from the capillary this is called ____________________________________.
When identical plasma cells start being made, in great abundance, from a single specific immune cell, the originally chosen immune cell has undergone ______________________ - ______________________________________.
What are a few things discussed…
Discuss the role of autoantibodies in three named autoimmune diseases, then discuss how four named monoclonal antibody therapies (biologics) have been used to treat patients with autoimmunity. Use the aid of many diagrams. 2500 words.
