55) A 48 year old man who emigrated from India comes to the physician because of a 6 month history of scale, well demarcated rash on his forehaed . Physical examinationhypopigmented rash with anesthetic cewnter over the left side of the forehead. A biopsy speciment of the affected skin shows clusters of epithelialcwels and occassional ginatcells surrounded by lymphocyteswith rare acid fast bacilli. Which of the following cytokine patterns is most likely exhibited by CD 4+ T-lymphocyte clones responding to this infection A) Interleukin-1( IL-1) and Il-8 (B) IL-2 and interferon gamma (C) IL-4 and IL-10 (D) Il-5 and IL-12 (E) IL-6 and Tumor necrosis factor alpha
An infant appears healthy until about 9 months of age, when he develops severe bacterial infections, one after another. Fortunately, theinfections are treated successfully with antibiotics. When infectedwith the measles and other viral diseases, the infant recovers withoutunusual difficulty. Explain the different immune responses to theseinfections. Why did it take so long for this disorder to become apparent? (Hint: Consider IgG.)
Tetanus (commonly known as lockjaw) is a severe illness thatcauses painful muscle spasms and convulsions and can leadto death. If adults are advised to get a tetanus booster shotabout once every 10 years, what is the probable life span ofthe tetanus-detecting memory B-lymphocytes?
For each blood type in the table below, fill in the expected agglutination result from mixing the blood with eachof the antibodies.
In New York City, four Orthodox Jewish patients brought into anemergency clinic with seizures and other neurological symptomstested positive for antibodies to the pork tapeworm, Taenia solium.This was embarrassing to them because they do not eat pork for religious reasons. It also became something of a medical mystery,because there were no immediate explanations for how they could havebecome infected. Later it was shown that the patients had recentlyemployed housekeepers and cooks who were free of symptoms yet alsoseropositive for the worm infection. Use this case history to give aplausible explanation for the transmission of the infection.
Ted finds out that he has been exposed to the measles and is concerned that he might have contracted the disease. His physician takes a blood sample and sends it to a lab to measure antibody levels. The results show an elevatedlevel of IgM antibodies to rubella (German measles) virus but very few IgG antibodies to the virus. Did Ted contract the disease?
How would you differentiate the following structures when seen in an unstained smear: a. Phagocytes and Polymorphonuclear leukocytes b. RBC and Yeast cells c. Polymorphonuclear leukocytes and Blastocystis d. Plant hairs and Muscle fibers
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?

Moniliasis is one of themost common opportunisticdiseases in AIDS. What is theetiological agent of moniliasisand what is the other name ofthe disease? Why is moniliaalso common in healthynewborns?
Some Type-II immunopathology mediated autoimmune diseases have manifestations inmultiple different organs. Discuss how antibodies to one single antigen can cause damage inmultiple sites throughout the body. Things you might discuss include, but are not limited towhere the antigen could be expressed, how antibodies are made, how they bind antigen,where they circulate, the ratios of antigen to antibody, mechanisms of the immune systemthat result in cellular/tissue damage, or how immune system components can affect otherorgans. You might also comment on what makes one antigen an attractive target rather thananother. Please do NOT comment on all the things listed above, they are just to get youthinking. If you are having trouble getting started, it might help to think about a specificdisease which affects multiple organs.
