A) Antibody responses are more rapid than those against other viruses B) T lymphocyte responses are more rapid than those against other viruses C) The virus does not infect any cells for several weeks or months D) The virus does not reach i target organ for several weeks or months

Different Viewpoints a person could take:Cultural perspective is based on specific cultural backgrounds. Social perspective would affect the society as a whole. Ethical perspective deals with moral viewpoints. Economic perspective deals with management of resources and cost-saving measures. Read the following statements related to the human papillomavirus and select the perspective it exemplifies in the drop-down menu. A parent worries that if the vaccine is given in Grade 5, it might encourage youth sexual activity. Answer HPV vaccination costs approximately $525, but it is free for all girls in Grade 5 to 12. Answer HPV vaccine has reduced the rate of cervical cancer by half. Providing HPV vaccines to all students in Grade 5 will help to improve the health of women. Answer If most of the girls in the target ages are vaccinated, they would provide a herd immunity for the rest of the population. Answer The Seventh Generation Principle of the Iroquois states…

Thomas rides in an elevator with a young child suffering from the common cold. Like most young children, the sick girl fails to cover her mouth when she sneezes thus releasing cold viruses (Rhinoviruses) into the air of the elevator. Thomas has the misfortune of inhaling one of those viruses. These questions follow step-wise as Thomas’ immune system attempts to prevent the infection. 1)Identify three physical barriers in Thomas' nasal cavity that attempt to prevent infection by the virus. The dastardly virus sneaks past those barriers and enters a nasal mucosa cell. The virus hijacks the transcription machinery of the cell to produce more virus particles. These particles then infect neighboring cells. 2) [_______] is a proteinaceous component of the innate immune system that interferes with the infection of neighboring cells with virus particles. 3) Some of the infected cells are phagocytosed. Phagocytes present antigens from the infected cell on the cell surface bound to a…

Which of the following is NOT true about Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and the disease it causes? Which option is the answer: 1. During Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19), a person is the most highly infectious for others during the period of peak viral load and symptoms 2. As it is transmitted through the global human population, the virus is highly genetically stable and does not change 3. Some people who become infected with SARS-CoV-2 will not develop signs and/or symptoms of disease 4. The severity of disease varies greatly, depending on age and/or underlying predisposing conditions 5. Emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants may sometimes be more transmissible than previous strains

In December 2020, Jean, a 30 year-old man, went to a concert in his town where more than 3 thousand people attended. Only 30% of the people in the concert were wearing mask, and there was not enough space to keep social distance. After 6 days, Jean started to develop fever and he lost the sense of smell and taste. Eight days after the party, he began to have difficulty breathing and was diagnosed with COVID-19. Let’s try to write the whole story about how the SARS-CoV2 invaded Jean’s body. The T cell response follows the antibody-mediated B cell immunity. What is the connection between B and T cells to build an effective immune response to SARS-Cov2?
