Chapter 37, Problem 2DAA
Summary Introduction
To explain: The group in which the women infected with both HPV16 and HPV18 belong.
Concept introduction: Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a common virus that infects almost everyone at one or the other point in life. There are different strains for this virus and they are identified with a number. HPV16 and HPV18 increase the risk of cervical, vaginal, and vulvar cancer in women and also pellicle cancer in men. These strains can also cause anal cancer and throat cancer in both men and women

Scenario:
A 56-year-old client was diagnosed with aggressive bone cancer that required a below the knee amputation of the left leg 14 months ago. The client received recommended chemotherapy and radiation, but it was found recently that the cancer has metastasized to the chest and skull. There is lymph node involvement with a primary tumor partially obstructing the right kidney. The client was readmitted 4 days ago for removal of the remaining portion of the left leg and was told that there is no appropriate surgical or medical intervention that would be beneficial at this point in the disease process. The interdisciplinary health care team has recommended palliative care upon discharge since the client’s life expectancy is between 3 and 5 months. The client has developed a mutually respectful relationship with a nurse on the unit who has provided care throughout all previous hospitalizations. The client shares with the licensed practical nurse (LPN) that, “I…

- Many viruses enter host cells through receptor- mediated endocytosis, What is an advantage of this entry strategy? The virus directly enters the cytoplasm of the cell The virus is protected from recognition by white blood cells The virus only enters its target host cell type The virus can directly inject its genome into the cell’s nucleus.arrow_forwardBox one: • Human breast cancer cell line BT474, which overexpresses HER2, in 10 cm Petri dishes• Human HER3 ligand• Lapatinib• Lysis buffer A (containing 1% Triton and 0.1% SDS)• Lysis buffer B (containing no detergent)• Mouse anti-HER3 antibodies• Mouse anti-pY1289 of HER3, that recognises the phospho-tyrosine at position1289 of Her3• Mouse anti-actin antibodies• Horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated anti mouse IgG antibodies• SDS-PAGE Sample buffer (contains SDS, mercaptoethanol and bromophenolblue)• Molecular weight markers• SDS-PAGE gel• Nitrocellulose membrane• Phosphate buffered saline (PBS)• Blocking buffer (5%w/v BSA in PBS)• X-ray film• Luminol/H2O2 (hydrogen peroxidearrow_forwardWound healing and mitotic rates in the damaged cornea of a mouse. The level of DNA replication in corneal epithelial cells in mice is high in the morning and low in the afternoon/evening. As a consequence, injury in the morning is expected to lead to accelerated entry into mitosis and wound repair compared to injury in the afternoon/evening. Shaded areas indicate dark periods and ZT stands for Zeitgeber Time (24 hour period).arrow_forward

When I read it myself, I do not understand exactly what is meant by the article. It would be nice if you could highlight the important points. You can use them in a figure or diagram to explain. thank you and hava a nice day :) Article: Interference with Cellular Uptake, Immobilization, and Inactivation of the Virus Outside of the Host Cell Nanomaterials can be synthesized with a high specific surface area of a few hundred square meters per gram. Therefore, dependent on the surface properties, nanomaterials efficiently adsorb biomolecules and form a so-called biomolecular corona. This passive, nontargeted adsorption might be utilized to bind viruses, provided that the selected nanomaterial is relatively biocompatible. Viral surface proteins are often modified by sugar moieties or encompass positively charged amino acid patches that bind to lectins or glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) of heparan sulfate…arrow_forwardTrue or False? p21 inhibits the S-cyclin/S-Cdk complex.arrow_forward
- 19. Tumor suppressor genes/Oncogenes: Describe how viruses can lead to cancer formation in animal hosts. In your response, describe the terms tumor suppressor gene, proto-oncogene, and oncogene. Use HPV as an example of how different types of tumors may develop and why it may be advantageous to a virus to interfere with proto- oncogenes or tumor suppressor genes.arrow_forward(35) Human immunization with purified polysaccharide antigens generates a response that is not dependent on T-lymphocytes control. As a result switching of immunoglobulin class during immune response does not occur .

DNA ligase can initiate new DNA chains C. SSB converts double-stranded DNA into single-stranded DNA. D. Helicases break hydrogen bonds in the DNA. 3.) Which mechanism contributes to accuracy during DNA replication? A. The mismatch repair system recognizes an incorrect base-pair and corrects the mistake in the non-methylated strand. B. Using primers increases accuracy because the first nucleotides in a new nucleic acid chain are more likely to be correct. C.

Ralph decided to explore other optionsand went to a cancer clinic. He learned that researchers in asynthetic biology program were testing the use of geneticallymodified bacterial cells designed to selectively invade specifictumors and kill cancer cells, with no effects on normal cells.Ralph decided to participate and was informed that he wouldbe part of a phase III trial, comparing the effects of the modifiedbacterial cell treatment against conventional chemotherapy.However, as part of the trial, he would be randomly assigned toreceive one or the other treatment.
