Chapter 50, Problem 3IQ
Summary Introduction
To describe: What does the mechanism and common structure of formations of T-cell receptors and immunoglobulins imply regarding the evolution of T and B lymphocytes and these proteins.
Introduction: Partial digestion of antibodies using proteases resulted in two fragments, namely Fc (fragment that is crystallizable) and Fab (fragment that binds the antigen). The Fab region is distinct for antibody of each individual and the Fc region of all antibody of a particular kind is identical virtually. The T-cell receptor (TCR) is a protein that is mostly composed of two chains, namely α chain and β chain.

In addition to phagocytosis, neutrophils use a process called NETs. Which one of the following describes this process?
Group of answer choices
A. NETs is a neutrophil process that activates the complement system of proteins, which destroys pathogens.
B. A net-like structure of DNA, histones, lactoferrins, gelatinase, cathepsin G, and myeloperoxidase is secreted at pathogens. Together these chemicals destroy pathogens.
C. NETs works when neutrophils secrete major basic proteins onto pathogens, destroying the pathogens' cell membranes.
D. NETs are chemicals secreted by neutrophils that trigger the rapid maturation of lymphoid stem cells into lymphocytes.
Which of the following is false when considering the CCR5Δ32 mutation?
a) The mutation prevents the entry of HIV-1 into a T cell.
b) The deletion that produced CCR5Δ32 caused a frameshift which extends the length of the protein product.
c) CCR5Δ32 prevents infection by HIV-1 in homozygotes but only delays the onset of HIV symptoms in heterozygotes.
d) The protein product produced by CCR5Δ32 is altered in such a manner that it cannot embed in the cell membrane.

This polymorphism makes it difficult for pathogens to eliminate all potential MHC binding epitopes from their proteins. Based on this reasoning, it would seem advantageous for each individual to encode more than three different MHC class I and three different MHC class II genes per chromosome copy. If some individuals in the population had MHC loci that encoded 10 different MHC class I and 10 different MHC class II genes, the T cell repertoire in those individuals would likely be: Much more diverse than in the rest of the individuals of that population Much better at recognizing rare pathogens not encountered by most individuals in that population Much less diverse than the rest of the individuals in that population Much more alloreactive than the T cells found in the other individuals of that population Very reactive to bacterial…arrow_forwardHow do loss of function mutations associated with Artemis (protein) cause their resulting phenotypes?
