Question
Chapter 35, Problem 11P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reason for the lack of response to gram-negative bacteria due to a mutation in TLR4 should be determined.
Concept introduction:
The TLRs are the toll-like receptors thatplay an important role in the innate responses of the immune system. They are membrane-spanning, non-catalytic receptors. LPS is lipopolysaccharide that forms the outer membrane of the gram-negative bacteria.

Polyisocyanates are involved in the induction of the full spectrum of hypersensitivity responses and nonimmune inflammatory reactions including asthma. Which of the following statement is not correct with respect to these observations and impact on immunity?
a. A person once sensitized to polyisocyanate can demonstrate group reactivity to this set of compounds.
b. Individuals having an acute exposure to toluene diisocyanate is more likely to develop hypersensitivity then individuals chronically exposed to low vapor levels.
c. A mechanism for this hypersensitivity is the toluene diisocyanate forms a covalent bond with proteins that are part of the airway resulting in the immune system developing a response to “self” proteins.
d. Adaptive immunity can interact or “message” the Innate immune system to up or down regulate its expression.
e. All of the statements are correct.

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.

- Mammalian Toll-like receptors are activated by many different pathogen-associated molecular patterns. As a family, TLRs can recognize PAMPs associated with a broad array of different pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Patients with a specific susceptibility to herpesvirus infections have a defect in their ability to respond to viral nucleic acids using TLR-3, TLR-7, or TLR-9, even though these proteins are expressed in the patients’ cells. Analysis of the TLRs in macrophages and dendritic cells from these patients would likely show which of the arrangements in Figure below?arrow_forwardNeutralizing antibodies are effective at preventing infection or toxicity mediated by pathogens or their toxic products. In fact, nearly all vaccines currently in use function by eliciting neutralizing antibodies. One example is the tetanus vaccine, in which neutralizing antibodies are generated against an inactivated form of the tetanus toxin (the tetanus toxoid). The most important feature of a neutralizing antibody is having high affinity for the antigen. being efficient at activating the complement cascade. having a high degree of multivalency, such as being a pentamer or hexamer of immunoglobulin monomers. being present at a high concentration in the circulation. 0 0 0 0arrow_forwardExplain full.
