Summary Introduction
To explain: The mode of inheritance that has been observed for HLA(Human Leukocyte Antigen) system in humans.
Introduction: The immune cells of the body are capable to distinguish between self and non-self cells due to the presence of MHC (major histocompatibility complex) molecules on the cells. MHC molecule has HLA genes which vary from one individual to another.

Different MHC I molecules between donor and recipient cells can lead to the rejection of a transplanted organ or tissue. Suggest a reason for this.
2. If a series of genetic mutations prevented some, but not all, of the complement proteins from binding antibodies or pathogens, would the entire complement system be compromised? Explain
3. 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?
Secondary lymphoid organs (SLOs) are important sites for the initiation of T cell responses via immune priming. Once an antigen-presenting cell (APC) presenting peptide-MHC arrives at a secondary lymphoid organ, it must find a relatively rare T cell clone with a TCR that recognizes its presented peptide-MHC complex.
Which of the following features of SLOs increases the likelihood of this APC finding its cognate T cell?
Activated APCs are captured by SLO-resident macrophages once they enter via afferent lymphatics, allowing them to be interrogated by T cells
Concentrate high densities of T cells within specific zones to enable efficient APC browsing
Drain pathogens from infected tissues through the lymphatics, bringing them to secondary lymphoid organs where they can be killed by B cells
Contain specialized nutrients that are required for productive TCR signaling following interactions with a cognate APC
Questio:-
1. Which one of the following is NOT associated with type IV hypersensitivity reaction?
Select one:
a. plays a crucial role in our body's ability to fight various intracellular pathogens
b. Involves CD8+Tcells, CD4 TH1 cells, macrophages activation
c. one of the mechanisms that causes tissue injury and disease in response to antigens
d. antibody-mediated response
e. Involves cytokine-mediated inflammation in tissue
f. takes several days to develop

- Organ Transplants Must Be Immunologically In the human HLA system there are 23 HLA-A alleles, 47 for HLA-B, 8 for HLA-C, 14 for HLA-DR, 3 for HLA-DQ, and 6 for HLA-DP. How many different human HLA genotypes are possible?arrow_forwardOrgan Transplants Must Be Immunologically In the near future, pig organs may be used for organ transplants. How are researchers attempting to prevent rejection of the pig organs by human recipients?arrow_forwardTopic: A patient was diagnosed with lymphoma in 2019. The tumor metastasized to multiple sites of the body. In 2020, the same patient was infected with COVID-19. Upon recovery from the infection, the physician performed a CT scan and noticed tumor complete remission. Using your knowledge in immunology, can you described what may have accounted for the complete remission?arrow_forward
- True/False: B-cell receptors and T-cell receptors share a mechanism for generating diversity, and also share overall structural homology both in their V domains and their C domains. This is because the two proteins have nearly identical functions in the immune responses mediated by their respective cell types.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_forwardOvercoming the carrier effect demonstrate which of the following immunological concepts: A. B-cells are needed for an antibody response B. T-cells are needed for an antibody response C. T and B-cells must be in equal numbers in order to make a secondary antibody response D. T-cells control the interactions between t-cells and b-cellsarrow_forward
- Describe the pathway to how the adaptive immune system would become activated if a toxoid passed through a lymph node. Recall, lymph nodes have two types of resident antigen presenting cells. Start from one of the immune cells that detects the toxoid – be sure to include which immune cells are involved, what receptors are present, and what the outcome is. Then, start from the second immune cell that can detect the toxoid and follow the same format.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_forwardWhy would COVID vaccines possibly help senior citizens to fight off COVID-19 if they thymus has changed?

- 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?arrow_forwardTRUE OR FALSE: 1. Treg cells can suppress autoreactive T cells only if the Treg and the autoreactive T cell bind to the same antigens, whether in tissue or are presented by APCs. 2. The hygiene hypothesis poses that more "sterile" environments such as limited childhood exposure to environmental viral infections corresponds with increased chance for development of allergic disease later in life.arrow_forwardDifferent MHC I molecules between donor and recipient cells can lead to rejection of a transplanted organ or tissue.
