Question
Chapter 20, Problem 1CYU
Summary Introduction
To review:
a. The part of the immune system responsible for producing flu-like symptoms.
b. The reason for an increased number of neutrophils observed in blood work.
c. The meaning of the increase in the number of lymphocytes instead of neutrophils.
Introduction:
The immune responses presented by the body are induced when a pathogen or an antigen capable of producing antibodies enters the body. The variation in the type of pathogen results in a change in the production of the type of cells that are used for killing it. The symptoms produced due to the immune response also vary with the variation in the type of the pathogen.

Which ONE of the following patients is most likely to have chronic myeloid leukaemia?
Select one:
A.A 47‐year‐old man with thrombocytosis and an enlarged spleen
B.54‐year‐old man with friable, bleeding gums and leucocytosis

a 24-year-old who has recently returned from a skiing vacation in the Canadian Rockies, presents to his physician with a swollen left knee. There is a decrease in range of motion and pain upon walking. Physical examination reveals a painful left knee which is swollen. X-ray of the knee reveals the accumulation of fluid and subsequent synovial fluid analysis indicates lymphocytes but a lack of neutrophils. Please discuss whether this knee injury is acute or chronic inflammation and what mediators were likely to be involved in this inflammation.

A, Recipient T cells recognize foreign HLA antigens on donor cells, activating CD8 T cytotoxic cells. B. Recipient antigen-presenting cells receive processed donor HLA peptides from recipient HLA Class II molecules, which cause CD4 T helper cells to activate B cells to produce antibodies to foreign HLA molecules.
