Concept explainers
To determine: The role of colony-stimulating factors, cytokines, and interleukins in the production of the blood cells.
Introduction: The blood cells are the cellular element of the blood such as red blood cells, platelets, and white blood cells. The formation of the blood cells is known as hematopoiesis.
To determine: The differences among cytokines, colony stimulating hormone, and interleukins.
Introduction: Cytokines, colony-stimulating factors, and interleukins are the chemical substance which regulates the growth and differentiation of the blood cells. These cells are generally the peptides or glycoproteins. Colony-stimulating factors and interleukins are types of cytokines.

- In the cell-mediated immune response, there are three types of T cells produced. What are they, and what is the function of each?arrow_forwardWhy do antibodies against cell surface antigens often produce pathological reactions while antibodies against intracellular antigens do not?arrow_forwardc) State some of the features that cross the cell membrane and make "porin proteins" specific. d) Briefly clarify the concepts of "acylation", "prenylation" and "GPI stabilizer" in the context of membrane protein interactions. e) When determining ABO Blood Groups, give information about which blood group data can be obtained depending on the interaction of which antigens in the red blood cell and which antibodies in the serum.arrow_forward
- Cadmium ions have been shown to be selective blockers of membrane calcium channels. Suppose T lymphocytes are cultured in the presence of cadmium chloride, explain what happens to TCR-triggered signal transduction.arrow_forwardConsidering that antibodies are proteins that will be released from the cell, which types of cytoplasmic organelles are likely tobe found in high numbers in plasma cells? (See table 3.1 for a summary of organelles and their functions.)arrow_forwardWhat type of WBCs are involved in a cell-mediated immune response? In an antibody-mediated immune response?arrow_forward
- CTLs use the following membrane-bound protein interactions to “kill” a target cell through apoptosis: Question 8 options: A) IL-2/IL-2 receptor B) CD4/MHC II C) TCR/MHC II D) Fas/FasLarrow_forwardWhat two standard amino acids are present in Collagen? Where are the carbohydrate units located in collagen? What is the function of carbohydrate groups present in collagen? What is the role of vitamin C in the biosynthesis of collagen? Describe the structural features of a typical immune-globulin molecule?arrow_forwardUse the following choices for the next set of questions. A choice may be used zero or more times: a)CD4 b) CD8 c) lg d) TCR e) More than one of these 26) Found on the cell surface 27) Expressed by T helper cells as a co-receptor 28) Expressed by B lymphocytes 29) Associated with cell that produces perforin 30) Composed of heavy and light chain 31) Capable of recognizing a carbohydrate antigen 32) Has effector functionsarrow_forward
