Question
Chapter 14, Problem 5P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The observation for the antibodies that act as an extracellular part of growth-factor receptor that lead to the same cellular effects as obtained from the exposure to growth factors needs to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Endocrine disrupting chemicals have the capability to mimic hormones in our body and interfere with our own hormonal system. Mimicking of hormones has an impact over the reproducing systems to a greater extent.

- MCQ. It is possible to incubate your tissue with two different primary antibodies simultaneously. If this is done, it is imperative that you can track each primary antibody with a different color. For example, one secondary antibody is tagged with Alexa488 which emits as green and another secondary antibody is tagged with Alexa 555 which emits as orange. Which of the following immunohistochemistry protocols is appropriate? a. Using Rabbit anti-GFAP and Rabbit anti-S100beta, followed by anti-rabbit Alexa 488 secondary antibody b. Using Rabbit anti-GFAP and Chicken anti-S100beta, followed by anti-rabbit Alexa 488 and anti-chicken Alexa 555 secondary antibodies c. Using Rabbit anti-GFAP and Chicken anti-S100beta, followed by anti-rabbit Alexa 555 and anti-chicken Alexa 555 secondary antibodies d.

- True/False with Justification. Indicate whether the statement is true or false. Then, regardless of whether you choose true or false, explain your reasoning. The Wee1 kinase could be considered the product of a tumor suppressor gene. A cell containing a mutant form of the Rb protein that cannot be phosphorylated would be blocked at the G1 -> S checkpoint.arrow_forwardIrradiation of mice with a dose of 600 rad of total body irradiation eliminates 95% of total lymphocytes from spleen and lymph nodes and also eliminates all antigen-specific memory B cells. Nonetheless, when Influenza A-infected mice are subjected to this irradiation at 60-days post-infection, and then reconstituted with bone marrow cells from a naive mouse (this replenishes all of the lymphocyte populations), the levels of circulating anti-Influenza A IgG antibodies show nearly no decline when mice are monitored for the following year. What is the explanation for this finding?arrow_forward"Schematic outline of melanogenesis. UVR stimulates the expression of POMC by keratinocytes. The peptide produced is the precursor of the hormone a-MSH, that binds to MC1R in melanocytes. This union leads to an increase in cellular cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) that in turn leads to increased levels of MITF expression, which upregulates the transcription of TYR, TYRP1 and TYRP2, producing brown-black eumelanin. In the absence of a-MSH, the antagonist ASIP binds to MC1R, and phaeomelanin is synthetized instead. Melanosomes are then transferred to keratinocytes through the dendrites via a shedding vesicle system." Briefly discuss how these several aspects of the molecular and cellular biology of melanin production and melanosome transfer contribute to determine skin color. How would different mutations in the hormonal response to ultraviolet light, the melanin production signal transduction pathways, and melanosome transfer influence skin color, hair color, and eye color?
