Describe the mechanism by which PrP is infectious.
Pathogenic infections induce damage to the host by a variety of mechanisms. While many mechanisms are direct effects of the pathogen, some damaging mechanisms result from the immune response to the infection. Examples of damage caused by the host immune response are:
a) Exotoxin production, endotoxin
b) Cell-mediated inmunity, direct cytopathic effect
c) Endotoxin, inmmunune complexes
d) Direct cythopathic effect, endotoxin
e) Cell-mediated inmunity, inmmunune complexes
The main effect of staphylococcal protein A is toa) interfere with phagocytosis.b) enhance the attachment of the Fc portion of antibody to phagocytes.c) coagulate plasma.d) kill white blood cells.e) degrade collagen.
