Why does the Tasmanian devil immune system not fight off the foreign cells that cause Devil Facial Tumor Disease (DFTD)? O The invading cells do not have Major Histocompatibility Complex proteins. O The invading cells are not bad for the body so the immune system does not destroy them. The invading cells are so similar to the devil's own cells that the body doesn't recognize them as non-self. O The Tasmanian devil immune system is very weak and doenot fight off invading non-self cells of any type.

All nucleated cells in the body present antigens to___________T cells via the ______________ complex. Antigen recognition results in maturation of these T cells, which _______________ the cell that activated them. *I'm guessing the second blank is histocompatibility?
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
You have a patient who has been injured by a rusty nail. As a precaution, you vaccinate her against tetanus. In response to the vaccine, how does her body produce antibodies against C. tetani and prevent future illness due to tetanus? A)B cells that produce an appropriate antibody undergo genomic rearrangement in order to produce other cells that secrete the same antibody. B)Every cell in her immune system produces antibodies against C. tetani. C)B cells with an appropriate antibody are stimulated to divide, producing plasma cells that make antibodies to C. tetani, and memory cells that "remember" C. tetani. D)Every B cell in her body produces antibodies against C. tetani.
Which statement is true? is it both true? or is it both incorrect? Statement 1: Major histocompatibility complex proteins help the immune system recognize 'self' vs 'non-self'. Statement 2: Self immunity refers to the ability of the immune system to recognize foreign antigens.
Figure 17.17 The Rh antigen is found on Rh-positive red blood cells. An Rh-negative female can usually carry an Rh-positive fetus to term without difficulty. However, if she has a second Rh-positive fetus, her body may launch an immune attack that causes hemolytic disease of the newborn. Why do you think hemolytic disease is only a problem during the second or subsequent pregnancies?
The Adaptive Immune Response Is a Specific Defense Against Infection Researchers have been having a difficult time developing a vaccine against a certain pathogenic virus as a result of the lack of a weakened strain. They turn to you because of your wide knowledge of recombinant DNA technology and the immune system. How could you vaccinate someone against the virus, using a cloned gene from the virus that encodes a cell-surface protein?
Immune system of humans a) Secreted B cell receptors can function as opsonins. b) MHC class II molecules can be found on the surface of nearly every cell of the body. c) The membrane attack complex (MAC) is used by natural killer cells to eliminate virus infected host cells. d) Both (a) and (b) are correct and (c) is incorrect e) Statements (a), (b) and (c) are all correct
Explain the mechanism of the Cancer therapy by inhibition of negative immune regulation, don’t forget to mention about Cytotoxic T Lymphocyte Antigen 4 Mechanism and Programmed cell death protein 1 Mechanism and the receptors. Please all details needed all the proteins everything needs to be in the answer. and i need a long answer not just two words for each. I will rate. If you can use tables it would be great if no it’s okay. I will rate. No hand-written.
The genetic content of each somatic cell in an organism is the same, but not all genes are expressed in every cell. Why can't cells express all the genes they have?
When your white blood cells encounter pathogens, they use harsh chemical reactions to destroy pathogens. During these chemical reactions, some harmful compounds called free radicals are generated. Free radicals are important for destroying pathogens, but if they accumulate in our cells, they can cause damage to our own cells, too. They can damage our DNA and proteins within our cells. How is vitamin C involved in these immune processes? Which ONE is correct? 1 Vitamin C is a coenzyme in the chemical reactions that produce free radicals. 2 Vitamin C is an antioxidant that prevents free radicals from damaging cellular components. 3 Vitamin C assists in the formation of collagen, which destroys pathogens. 4 Vitamin C assists in the synthesis of phospholipids to repair damaged cell membranes.
SYstemic Lupus erythematosus is an autoimmune disease in which antibodies are produced that target the person's own DNA. The DNA must be outside of the person's cell , in plasma and/ or interstitial space,in order antivodies to bind it. Immune resposes are thoght to be part of the cause of this aspect of lupus. Of the following which is moast likely to allow the preon's DNA to be exposed otside of cells? A, conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin B, Inflammation C, Complement Membrane Attack Complex D, Interferons E,Neutrophil Extracellular Traps
Human immune system a) Pathogen-associated molecular patterns are conserved molecular structures produced by microorganisms, but not by host cells. b) A virus-infected host cell that displays a viral antigen via MHC class I molecules may become a target of cytotoxic T cells. c) Secreted MHC Class I proteins present in blood plasma can function as opsonins. d) Both (a) and (b) are correct and (c) is incorrect e) Statements (a), (b) and (c) are all correct
