Question
Chapter 23.3, Problem 1TQ
Summary Introduction
To review:
The bacterial structure that might blunt the microbial effect of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs).
Introdu ction:
Neutrophils are the major constituent of polymorphonuclear leukocytes that form a part of the innate immune system. A neutrophil can engulf and ensure bacterial pathogens by a unique mechanism creating a large trap. Once trapped, the neutrophil can destroy the pathogenic microbe.

The information is on the second picture and the questions are on the first which are :
3) What is the normal ( non - allergenic) function of a algae antibody and how does it accomplish this?
4) What is the non-normal ( allergenic ) function of an lgE antibody and how does it accomplish this?
5) How does the release of histamine lead to allergic symptoms ?
if our immume systems are capable of attacking the trypanosome, why do you think we might see the number of parsites in a untreated person's blood repeatedly rebound in that way?
A white blood cell has pathogen recognition proteins embedded in its plasma membrane. Initially, the the pathogen recognition proteins are spread over the whole surface of the white blood cell. The white blood cell comes into contact with a bacterial cell. Some of the pathogen recognition proteins bind to the lipoteichoic acid molecules on the surface of the bacterial cell. As time goes on, more and more of the pathogen recognition proteins bind to the lipoteichoic acid molecules on the bacterial cell surface. The white blood cell membrane at the point of contact between these 2 cells now contains a dense cluster pathogen recognition proteins. How is it possible for the pathogen recognition proteins to go from being equally distributed on the white blood cell surface to being clustered at the point of contact?

- Describe in detail the kinetics of phage infection followed by host lysis in bacteria. with examplesarrow_forwardIn electron micrographs of HSV infection, it can be seen that the intact virus initially reacts with cell-surface proteoglycans, then with specific receptors. This is later followed by viral capsids docking with nuclear pores. Afterward, the capsids go from being full to being "empty." Which of the following statements best fits these observations? The viral envelope is not required for infectivity, since the envelope does not enter the nucleus. The viral envelope mediates entry into the cell, the capsid mediates entry into the nuclear membrane, and the genome is all that enters the nucleus. Only the genetic material of the virus is involved in the cell's infectivity, and is injected into the host cell like the genome of a phage. Viral capsids are needed for the cell to become infected; since the full capsids enter the nucleus.arrow_forwardHow is host cell lysis triggered after bacteriophage invasion?

- For a bacterial exotoxin with a typical A-B type toxin structure, removal of the A portion of the toxin would result in which of the following? The B portion remaining would still be able to bind to the target cell, but would not have toxic effects The remaining B portion would enter the cell and carry out its toxic activity, such as ADP-ribosylation The remaining B portion would cause inhibition of protein synthesis Nothing would happen because the A portion is responsible for binding to the target cell. The remaining B portion would still induce cell lysis Please answer asap and in short and content should not be palgarised pleasearrow_forwardWhat is a cytocidal infection? What is a cytopathic effect?arrow_forwardIt was important for Lilly to understand how the bacteria were able to cause disease in patients. The mechanism of pathogenesis by M. tuberculosis starts in the lung alveoli. The cell wall of M. tuberculosis allows it to resist phagocytolysis by the alveolar macrophages, where they can multiply. They can then induce apoptosis in macrophages, which die, and the bacteria is free to infect other macrophages. As the cycle of infection slowly progresses, the body's response to the infection is to try to wall off the bacteria in granulomas (wall of immune cells, both dead and alive, surrounding the bacteria to restrict its spread). Eventually, the bacteria can escape the granuloma and infect other parts of the lung. Transmission of Mtb Initial infection and Granuloma cavitation replication of Mtb in macrophages and dissemination of Mtb in the lung Infected macrophages Caseating granuloma Recruitment of Innate and adaptive immune cells Infected cells undergo necrosis resulting in the…arrow_forward

B) O Second mesengar pathway disrupters like cholera toxin produces a debilitating respiratory condition of the lungs. C) O Shiga toxin, tetanus toxin, and hemolysins are all types of exotoxins. D) O Superantigens elicit a hyperactive response by the immune system and can lead to shock. E) O None are false, A-D are all true statements.arrow_forwardBefore development of a vaccine against this microbe, thedisease it caused accounted for two-thirds of bacterial meningi-tis cases during the first year of life but is still the number oneleading cause of mental retardation in patients who survive seri-ous disease due to permanent central nervous system disorders.What is the microorganism?(a) Haemophilus influenzae type B(b) Haemophilus influenzae type A(c) Neisseria meningitidis(d) Streptococcus pneumoniae(e) Listeria monocytogenesarrow_forwarda typical eukarytic cell has a diameter of 50 microns while a corona virus particles has a diameter of 100 nanometers. how many virus particles could be packed into the volum of the typical eurkaryotic cell?
