MICB 202 Study Guide - Pattern Recognition Receptor, Mhc Class I, Humoral Immunity
Document Summary
Person a was born with a genetic defect that results in an inability to produce complement component c3. Person b was born with a different genetic defect and is unable to produce complement component c5. Why: you surgically remove the thymus from both a newborn mouse and an adult mouse. For a t cell to be activated, two signals are required. What happens if the t cell only receives one signal: the innate and adaptive immune systems work together to maximize the protection against infection by pathogens. In this vaccine, the virus particles are treated with formaldehyde, and the viruses are not capable of infecting cells. How are they different? (think about effector mechanisms, cell types, speed of action etc: explain the proposed mechanism behind allergy shots. Identify the specific selection process and what it does as well as where it occurs and when. In a particular immunodeficiency disease, patients" b-cells are unable to express mhc class ii.
