Question
Chapter 43, Problem 11TYU
Summary Introduction
To explain: The feasibility of treating septic shock with a drug that blocks TLR signaling.
Introduction: The defense system of the organism depends on the effectiveness of their immune system. Organisms have acquired many mechanisms of defense system that protects from pathogens. The innate immune response of invertebrates is specific for a particular group of pathogens. Once bound to receptor of a pathogen molecule, recognition protein initiates the immune response that kills the specific pathogens.

The researchers raised tadpoles in groups, in containers of the same size in a room with consistent temperature and lighting. They exposed some tadpoles to no pesticides, some to low pesticide levels, and some to high pesticide levels, and then measured the density of white blood cells (immune cells) in the tadpoles.

- Vaccines work to protect us against future infections by a bacteria or virus we may not have even encountered yet. In the space below, describe how a vaccine can protect against a future infection by a particular virus. In your answer explain what the vaccine is made of, the effects on any cells of the adaptive immune system involved, and explain how this can protect against a future infection by that virus.arrow_forwardImmune systems of animals are very complex. For an animal's immune system to work properly, certain cells must be able to recognize other specific types of cells, so that they can bind to and communicate with them. These types of interactions allow an immune system to decide if and when to launch an immune response. For example, dendritic cells must be able to recognize and interact with T-cells, but they do not need to recognize adipocyte cells. Which of the following describes a difference between T-cells and adipocyte cells that would allow dendritic cells to recognize one, but not the other? A. Adipocyte cells must have a cell wall, while T-cells lack one. B. T-cells and adipocyte cells must have different types of lipids that compose their plasma membranes. C. Adipocyte cells must lack endoplasmic reticulum, while T-cells possess endoplasmic reticulum. D. T-cells and adipocyte cells must have some differences in the carbohydrates and/or…arrow_forwardWe talked in one of our first lectures about how we began to understand the potentiation of an action potential down an axon by stimulating and recording electrical changes in a giant squid neuron.

- Human immune system During the inflammatory response, histamine plays a key role in causing capillaries to become more permeable to phagocytic cells such as neutrophils. Antibodies directly kill bacterial cells by activating cell death programs that lead to apoptosis. Interferons are signaling molecules produced by bacteria that block (or interfere) with the ability of plasma cells to release antibodies.arrow_forwardSponges display nonspecific immunity. In an experiment, the cells of two different sponges were mixed and placed within a petri dish. The cells from each sponge sorted and arranged themselves together according to organism. What does this characteristic demonstrate? A. Sponges have memory T-cells and share a more recent common ancestor with vertebrates than other invertebrates. B. The experiment provides evidence for the speed of evolution and the use of specific immunity within the organism. C. Sponges have an ability to recognize their own cells as a characteristic of acquired immunity. D. Sharing genetic information from cell to cell is possible by means of receptors and protein-lined pits.arrow_forwardTrue adaptive immunity, involving the production of a largenumber of diverse antigen receptors, first evolved ina. amphibians. c. jawed vertebrates.b. invertebrates. d. mammals.arrow_forward
