Concept explainers
To explain:
The reason why physicians may place a solution containing bovine tuberculosis bacteria into the patient’s bladder to treat the disease. Explain the reason why this treatment causes the patient’s immune system to launch an attack against the cancer cells. Write a prediction how bovine tuberculosis bacteria might help a patient’s immune system fight cancer.
Concept Introduction:
Bladder infection is caused by the infection of the lining of the cells in this organ. This infection can be caused by the micro-organisms like E.coli which adhere to the walls of the epithelial cells lining this organ. This organ stores the urine which is excreted from the human body.

Gamma, fibroblasts b. Beta, lymphocytes c. Alpha, natural killer cells d. Beta, fibroblastsarrow_forward
- Which is the proper order of events in cell-mediated immunity? (1) Cloning of cytotoxic T cells and memory T cells(2) Antigen presented to T lymphocyte(3) Activation of T lymphocytes(4) Cytotoxic T cells attack target cells Select one: a. 3, 2, 4, 1 b. 1, 4, 2, 3 c. 2, 3, 4, 1 d. 2, 3, 1, 4 e. 1, 2, 3, 4,arrow_forwardDescribe the function of both T and B memory cells in the immune response. What type of immunity do they provide? direct answer pleasearrow_forwardIn an immune response, what is the main function of the circulatory system? to produce inflammation and activate B cells to send chemical signals and transport immune cells to stimulate infected cells and release interferons to trap pathogens and attract phagocytesarrow_forward
- Which is true of the innate immune response? a) Mucus can contain lysozyme and ampicillin b) Fe poisons potential pathogens c) Skin is dry and alkaline d) Fe limitation has a bacteriostatic effectarrow_forwardWhich characteristic is associated with passive artificial immunity?a. long-term protection duration b. requires several days to develop protection c. immediate protection d. creation of memory in response to antigen exposurearrow_forwardThe immune system protects our body from invasion by nonself cells. Explain what could happen if you broke your tibia, exposing bone marrow cells that the immune system does not recognize as self cells?arrow_forward
- What is the function of Regulatory T-cells answer in one paragrapharrow_forwardGive typing answer with explanation and conclusion how is the development of autoimmunity normally prevented? a. T lymphocytes require a specific set of cytokine signals to become activated b. regulatory T cells suppress autoimmune responses c. clonal deletion of T cells and regulatory T cell suppression prevent auto reactive T cell activation d. clonal deletion of T cells, lack of necessary cytokine signals, and regulatory T cell suppression prevent activation of auto reactive T cellsarrow_forwardHow could you distinguish the type of T cell that is active in an immune response? What outcomes would you be looking for to help determine which T cell is producing that result? Explain and provide examples.arrow_forward
