Manufacturer
What antibodies are tested for (class of antibodies)
Why are those specific class/classes of antibodies tested for?
Is the test considered reliable?Â
Why or why not is it reliable?
Would you use this test for yourself or your family? Why or why not?
TRUE OR FALSE
1. Acute inflammation is better than chronic inflammation
Â
2. The major inflammatory cells in the body are white blood cells
True or false
1. Increased susceptibility to pyogenic (pus-forming) bacterial infections often points to a defect in antibody, complement, or phagocytotic function.Â
2. The population of HIV viral variants circulating in the human population is extremely diverse, which has hampered development of an HIV vaccine for all people. True or False: Within a given individual, all HIV viruses are genetically identical, leading to efficient elimination of virus on a per-patient basis.

Innate lymphoid cells reside primarily in tissues such as the lungs, the lining of the gastrointestinal tract, and the skin, because these sites represent the major routes of entry of pathogens into the body.

"The successful use of gene therapy to cure SCID syndrome (2000) is hoped to be a permanent cure for those patients because a good copy of the problem gene was inserted into the patients' blood stem cells in the bone marrow (hematopoietic stem cells). Once white blood cells enter the blood stream they have a limited life span, on the order of a few week to months. The blood stem cells are the cells that create more white blood cells to replace those that are lost. If the gene was only inserted into the circulating mature white blood cells, the patient would only be temporarily cured until those cells were used up or died." The current gene therapy approaches to cure CF involve inserting a functional CFTR gene into the mature epithelial cells of the lungs.
