Tuberculosis is a chronic respiratory condition caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a high contagious bacterium. People with tuberculosis will often have a persistent (sometimes bloody) cough, fatigue, weight loss, and fever. M. tuberculosis produces a protein we will call “X”. A new test for tuberculosis checks for X antibodies in a person’s blood. If the antibodies are present, the result is “positive.” Why would X antibodies be present in someone’s blood? What specific kind of cells would produce them?

you need a flu shot every year/season because (HA-haemoagglutinin; NA-neuroaminidase) A) the virus can change its HA and NA every year, so a new shot is needed to teach your immune system how to recognize the changed HA and NA B) flu virus gets rid of its HA and NA and replace them with completely new ones every year C) your immune system weakens after a year-so you have to get another shot to get the system strong enough to attack the virus D)antigen shift occurs every year

Antibodies are effective against bacteria as well as viruses, but some bacteria produce an enzyme that cuts immunoglobulin G molecules right at the “bend” to separate each antigen-binding “arm” from the “stem.” (a) What type of bond is broken by the bacterial enzyme and what type of reaction does this enzyme catalyze? (b) Would the action of the bacterial enzyme affect the ability of immunoglobulins to cross-link bacterial cells?.
