Chapter 17, Problem 1A
Jack and Jill were badly burned in an accident at the well and both were taken to the burn unit of the local hospital. The burns covered only a small area of skin so grafts were prepared for both patients from the skin of Jack's thigh. Jack's graft was successful and his burn healed completely. Jill, however, rejected the grafted skin. Explain the immune responses of both patients to these grafts. What treatments could have helped Jill to avoid rejection of her graft?

Approximately 70% of the body’s immune system cells are located in or near the wall of the lower intestinal tract (intestines). Can you suggest a reason for this phenomenon?
Mr. Conti died from a smallpox infection. The graphs (pictured) illustrate Anne's immune response and Mr. Conti's immune response. What differences do you see between these two graphs, and how do these differences explain why Anne survived and Mr. Conti died?

Are the inflammatory cells the same for both methods of activation? Why does inflammation subside as an infection is controlled?arrow_forwardB cell receptor diversity is behind our ability to fight new infections. However, epitope-specific B Cell memory is critical for the secondary immune response protecting against new infections. You are ready to integrate concepts. In this question, you will combine B Cell receptor diversity and cloning! Please answer each question in less than 150 characters (including spaces). 1.Can a mature B Cell produce an epitope-specific antibody first and then switch to make an antibody against a different epitope? Explain. 2.Please describe what is transferred into an egg during cloning by somatic nuclear cell transfer. 3.How many B Cell receptors/antibodies could be generated in a mouse cloned by somatic nuclear cell transfer from a mature B Cell (after recombination)?arrow_forwardAlthough the adaptive immune system has two arms, it has been said, “no T cells, no immunity.” Explain.arrow_forward

- Are individuals born and raised in a rural developing country more likely to have a more effective Th1 immune response or Th2 immune response? Describe why.arrow_forwardRebecca developed measles as a young child. As a teenager, she is re-exposed to the measles virus during an outbreak at her high school. What will most likely prevent Rebecca from experiencing any signs or symptoms of measles? As a result of her childhood exposure, her immune system can perform enhanced inflammatory response. As a result of her childhood exposure, her immune system can perform enhanced phagocytosis of virus-infected host cells. She has memory innate immune cells as a result of her childhood exposure. They would be primed to activate rapidly upon subsequent exposure to the same virus during the secondary immune response. She has memory B cells as a result of her childhood exposure. They would be primed to activate rapidly upon subsequent exposure to the same virus during the secondary immune response.arrow_forwardLymphocytes that develop immunocompetence in the thymus are __________lymphocytes. We put everything in our mouth since our childhood. Therefore our mouth is full of live bacteria. These bacteria are potentially dangerous if they cross our gut wall into our blood circulation. Fortunately we are protected from them by our gut's mucosal lining and the cells (macrophages, dendritic cells, B and T lymphocytes) in the lymphoid tissue called [a] (enter two words). This structure play a crucial role for the development of food tolerance or food [b] (enter one word), coeliac disease and chronic inflammatory bowel disease.arrow_forward
