A two-month-old baby is found to lack class I MHC molecules. How would this defect impact his adaptive immune response? Include answers to the following points: • What is the function of MHC I molecules in the adaptive immune response? • Will the entire adaptive immune response be impacted or only part of it? Please explain. • What type of infections will be impossible to tackle without MHC I molecules?

Name two antigen-presenting cells. What is their role in the adaptive immune system? Which classes of MHC proteins do they express and why is this important?
Which of the following are TRUE of class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules? a. Class I MHC molecules present endogenous antigens. b. Class I MHC molecules are only present on erythrocyte surfaces. c. Class I MHC molecules bind complement. d. Class I MHC molecules present exogenous antigens.
Which of the following is NOT an example of non-specific (innate) resistance mechanisms interacting directly with specific acquired immunity mechanisms? what option below is the answer? Antibodies binding to bacterial surface antigens, coating (opsonizing) the bacteria and enhancing their phagocytosis by leukocytes Macrophages and dendritic cells presenting antigens to lymphocytes None of the other four answers (All are examples of interaction between innate and acquired resistance) Antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity Complement being activated by antigen-antibody binding
You are working in a hospital and saw a patient who has rashes on his body, conjunctivitis, facial paralysis, and a swollen knee. Since you just learned about lymphocytes and the MHC classes in Dr. Starnges lecture, what MHC class and lymphocyte will work together to remove the infection? As we know all the lymphocytes that recognize self peptides are eliminated by immune system but why, after treatment with antibiotic, did the patient develop chronic arthritis?
What is MHC? List the specific cells that have MHC presentation and describe their role in the immune response.
Explain the Complement system in your own words? State the 3 types of Complement and briefly explain each of their roles in the Immune resposne?
Explain the "antigen recognition by cells of adaptive immunity" in a simple way. Relate it with Class I,II,III MHC molecules/genes. Thank you NOTE: Bullet form
S.M.was recently diagnosed with Hodgkin disease and scheduled for a staging procedure. His previous axillary lymph node biopsy result was positive for Reed-Sternberg cells. The surgeon charted the results of the staging procedure as “stage I.” What is the purpose of the staging procedure for S.M.? (List 2 reasons for staging.) How does Hodgkin lymphoma spread in the body, and what does “stage I” signify for S.M.? (Describe how Hodgkin disease spreads and explain the meaning of “Stage I.”) What is the difference between Hodgkin disease and non-Hodgkin lymphoma? (Outline the primary difference, then outline the various pathophysiologic aspects of each disease., along with symptoms.) What is the prognosis and predicted therapy for S.M.now that he has been diagnosed with stage I Hodgkin disease? (List the 5 year survival rate of Hodgkin disease and outline the treatment plan for Stage I Hodgkin disease. Also, explain how the treatment would differ if it is discovered that…
Match each of the listed characters below to the innate or adaptive immune system. 1) Fully formed at birth 2) Includes barrier tissues and macrophages, among other defenses. 3) Recognizes molecular patterns that are shared across many pathogens. 4) Serves as the first line of defense. 5) Continues to develop with exposure to new pathogens. 6) Recognizes specific (unique) pathogen peptides. 7) Includes a 'memory' that leads to immunity by recognizing threats that have previously invaded the body. 8) Involves T cells, B cells, and antibodies. Here is the options: a) innate immune system. b) adaptive immune system.
What distinguishes MHC I from MHC II? a-aquisition of antigenic peptide in the cytoplasm b-cross-presentation of antigegn to CD4 T cells c- presentation of peptides to the T cell receptor d-binding of a B-amino acid peptide e- presentation of antigenic peptides to CD4 T cells
A patient has contracted an upper respiratory infection caused by a virus. Her initial adaptive immune response to the virus is due to what mechanism of immune surveillance?a. The display of viral antigens by naïve B-cells on class I MHC, which is then recognized by helper T-cells that then activate cytotoxic T-cells.b. The display of viral antigens on class I MHC, which is then displayed to sensitized naïve B-cells, leading to the production of antibodies.c. The display of viral antigens on class II MHC by a sensitized naïve B-cell, which is then activated by a helper T-cell primed to the same antigen to begin producing antibodies.d. The display of viral antigens on class I MHC, which is then displayed to helper T-cells, leading to the activation of naïve cytotoxic T-cells.
