What are they?arrow_forwardgive correct option. 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.arrow_forward

They share the property of binding to immunophilin molecules in T cells as the initial step in their mechanisms of action. However, in the case of cyclosporin A, the drug:immunophilin complex binds to and inhibits the protein phosphatase calcineurin, whereas the rapamycin:immunophilin complex binds to and inhibitors mTOR. As a consequence, Cyclosporin A, but not rapamycin, blocks cytokine production by T cells. Both cyclosporin A and rapamycin block cytokine production by T cells. Rapamycin, but not cyclosporin A, blocks T cell proliferation. Neither rapamycin nor cyclosporin A block T cell proliferation. Both cyclosporin A and rapamycin inhibit co-stimulatory signaling through CD28 on T cells.arrow_forwardHow will you exploit the effector proteins of Type 3 and Type 4 secretion systems to develop novel therapeutics and drugs.
