Question
Chapter 6, Problem 25P
Summary Introduction
To analyze:
Analyze the term genetic complementation, and answer the following questions.
Relate how the term genetic complementation applies to an experiment in which two lysis-defective bacteriophages are able to co-infect a bacterial cell and produce lysis.
Find out another example of complementation in this book, and describe how the genetic complementation applies to this case.
c. Analyze if the genetic complementation has the same meaning in both cases. If yes, explain how.
Introduction:
The term genetic complementation of two genes suggests that the two mutated genes having a mutation at two different locations produce wild type character, therefore completing each other. Complementation is also called Cis-trans mutation. Genetic complementation is used to determine whether mutation has occurred in the same gene or in two different genes.

Although slow acting retroviruses lack oncogenes, retroviral infection can activate proto oncogenes leading to oncogenesis.
a. Describe the mechanism of proto-oncogenes activation that can result from with infection with slow acting retroviruses.
b. In what other ways can proto-oncogenes be converted to oncogenes?
In your own words, explain why this procedure is referred to as an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
Flow cytometry analysis was performed on the blood of an individual known to have been recently exposed to both rhinovirus (RV) and Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb; an intracellular bacterial pathogen). Although an effective T cell response against RV was detected, a T cell response against M.tb was absent. Subsequently, genetic testing was performed, and the individual was found to possess two mutations. Below, indicate the MOST LIKELY mutations.
A. T-bet; IL-12
B. CD28: IL-2Ra

- Several vaccines against viral infections are made by isolating purified surface proteins of the viral particle, mixing them with an adjuvant to stimulate an innate immune response, and injecting the mixture into people. Two examples of this are the vaccine against Hepatitis B virus, and the vaccine against Human Papilloma Virus (the ‘cervical cancer’ vaccine). One interesting property of vaccines of this type (known as ‘subunit vaccines’) is that there is a requirement for a CD4 T cell response to the vaccine antigen in order to generate antibodies to the innocuous protein in the vaccine. In the case of the Hepatitis B vaccine, the viral protein included in the vaccine is the Hepatitis B surface antigen (HepB-SAg), a protein that is approximately 200 amino acids in length. The graph in Figure Q4.27 shows the data from immunizing individuals with this vaccine, and monitoring their production of protective antibody responses to the viral protein. a) What results would be predicted if…arrow_forwardDescribe the differences between genetic complementation and recombination as they relate to the detection of wild-type lysis by a mutant bacteriophage.arrow_forwardTo understand the genes responsible for growth and infectivity in a disease-causing bacterial strain, you perform chemical mutagenesis on a culture of these bacteria.

Transformation of the recipient cells was conducted, using the DNA of the donor cells. You next selected for recipient cells that had undergone transformation by plating the transformed cells on media containing minocycline. This enabled you to select for min+ cells.
