Question
Chapter 29, Problem 9WIO
Summary Introduction
To predict:
The immune system response generated by the injection of bovine tuberculosis bacteria that help the patient to fight against cancer.
Introduction:
The property of a body to fight against various disease-causing microorganisms and generating an immune response is known as immunity. In the blood, the white blood cells (WBC) are present, which produce the immunological response against the disease-causing microorganisms.

Suppose a person recovers normally from viral infections, but then gets the same viral infections over and over again- unlike the rest of us.
A. What is probably wrong –B cells, helper T cells and/or cytotoxic T cells?
B. Should this person be at a higher risk of cancer than the rest of us?
C. Should this person be able to lyse bacterial cells as well as the rest of us?
D. Should this person tolerate a graft (from an unreated person) better than you are me?
Why is a cell-mediated immune response more effective against intracellular microorganisms (such as viruses) than an antibody-mediated response?
Select one:
a. Cell-mediated (vs. antibody-mediated) response results in activation of many more immune cells, so it is more effective at destroying antigens.
b. Intracellular microorganisms are too large for antibodies to be effective against.
c. Cell-mediated response results in destruction of cells containing the intracellular microorganism; antibodies can not enter cells.
d. Intracellular microorganisms are too small for antibodies to be effective against.
Henry showed his mother the bite mark that he just received from a large bug
in his backyard as he was playing. His mother noticed the reddened zone on the
skin with a distinct circular shape of black, dying tissue. His arm was swelling up
and painful to the touch.

- What components of the immune system are involved in the immune response against tumor/cancer cells? Briefly mention their roles in the process.arrow_forwardExplain why each choice (a-d) is correct or incorrect. All but one of the following occurs during the inflammatory response. Select the example below that does NOT describe the process of inflammation. a. Inflammation increases capillary permeability. b. Chemotaxis draws leucocytes to the site of injury. c. Vasoconstriction prevents excessive blood loss due to injury. d. Release of prostaglandins results in pain.arrow_forwardJohn frequently encountered bacterial infections. Tests for immune cells showed the presence of mature B and T cells in his blood. Extensive analysis showed that John was lacking a gene responsible for a protein for complement factor C5. 1. Which immune response will be inhibited because of C5 deficiency? 2. How would it affect John’s ability to fight infections? Specifically what type of infections is he likely to have difficulty fighting? Please explain in detail. 3. What would have been the implications if he was lacking the C3 complement component?arrow_forward
- Answer the following related to the topic of immune defense: a) Sometimes the body can attack its own tissue as if it was foreign. We call these disorders autoimmune diseases. Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease where the body attacks its own myelin. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease where the body attacks the lining of the joints. How do you think each of these diseases would impact the function in the human body? b) What role do other human body systems, such as the digestive system, the integumentary system, and the respiratory system play in protection? Provide an example for each system that demonstrates how a feature, substance, or action of that system helps keep you well.arrow_forwardIn HIV, helper T cells are affected. Describe how this impacts both the humoral and cell- mediated immune system. Why would an ordinary cold virus be dangerous to an AIDS patient?arrow_forwardBiologists can develop antibodies against nerve growth factor (i.e., molecules that inactivate nerve growth factor). What would happen if someone injected such antibodies into a developing nervous system?arrow_forward
- The immune system can be split into two major categories, the innate immune system and the adaptive immune system. Compare and contrast these two systems and their response to a bacterial pathogen that entered the body through a cut in the skin. In your answer describe two ways in which the innate immune system protects against this pathogen, as well as two ways that the adaptive immune system protectS against this pathogen. Be sure to name any cells/organs/tissues/structures that may be involved in each of these processes in order to receive full marks. This can be done as a list in point form.arrow_forwardThe innate immune system has to be able to detect foreign invaders. Explain two ways that the innate immune system is able to detect these foreign invaders to allow a response to be mounted.arrow_forwardMycobacteria are intracellular pathogens that have adapted to life inside phagocytic cells, such as macrophages. These intracellular bacteria are taken up by phagocytosis, similar to other pathogens, but the bacteria are not killed. One possible mechanism that could account for this immune evasion by mycobacteria is their ability to: Prevent induction of nitric oxide production in the phagosome Prevent the acidification of phagosomes Prevent the expression of antimicrobial peptides in the phagosome Prevent fusion of phagosomes with lysosomes Kill the macrophage before it kills themarrow_forward
- Imagine a new viral infection has emerged in the southwestern U.S. The virus has distinct surface properties such that prior infections with other viruses is not providing immunity against this virus and it starts to spread rapidly. Diagram and/or describe the major steps of immune response to infection by this virus. Include both the innate and adaptive immune responses. How do antibodies help block viral infection? Once the virus enters a cell it is no longer accessible to antibodies or immune cells. What type of T cells are most important for this stage of infection? How do these T cells recognize infected cells and stop the infection?arrow_forwardIt is often helpful to draw a complicated pathway in the form of a flow chart to visualize the multiple steps and the ways in which the steps are connected to each other. Draw the antibody-mediated immune response pathway that acts in response to an invading virus.arrow_forwardCells called histiocytes are specialized phagocytes which remain within certain tissues.
