 b) Why isn't ABO incompatibility a problem for pregnant women? For example a Blood type B pregnant woman (  IBi ) with anti A antibodies in her blood serum who is carrying a blood type A fetus. Such a woman and her child rarely have problems like those she would have, regarding Rh factors. Why?
What is our current understanding about the contribution of modifiable risk factors to cardiovascular disease (CVD)?
Question 22 options:
a)Â
A huge proportion of CVD is due to universal modifiable risk factors
b)Â
CVD attributed to modifiable risk factors varies greatly with ethnic populations, as does the genetic component
c)Â
Only about half of CVD is due to modifiable risk factors, much is attributed to genetic factors
d)Â
Modifiable risk factors are responsible for a small proportion of CVD, with the bulk attributed to a combination of genetics and environmental factors

You have isolated the B cells producing antibodies against the viral H7 protein and fused those specific B cells with a unique kind of mutant myeloma cells. The myeloma cells can't make any of the three following enzymes; dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR), thymidine kinase (TK), and hypoxanthine-guanosine phosphoribosyl transferase (HGPRT). The mutant unfused myeloma cells are grown in the laboratory in a nucleotide supplemented medium. For selecting the hybridomas, you have used a modified medium HT that does not contain any aminopterin but contains hypoxanthine and thymidine. Which of the following result do you expect to see from your experiment, and what problem you may encounter in the future after the hybridoma selection?arrow_forwardWhat are synthetic cannabinoids? where did they come from and what are their effects?arrow_forward
