Document Summary

Platelets have a sugar coating determines how long they can stay around. The sugar around the platelet can be removed, and the platelet is taken up. Sugar coating on the platelets determines the half life of the protein. Antibiotics treatment - using too much causes resistance. Specialists will give you different antibiotics compared to a gp. Separate the levels of antibiotics so we don"t create resistance. So even if you have resistance for the first class, the second class wont affect that. Mechanisms we use to design therapeutics are in us. Design things based on our knowledge of the system. Infection - the pathogen can bind to the cell where it can cultivate. Invasion has muktople walls that it has to go through. Bacteria finds nice host, eats into the cell and multiplies. The interactions arent unnoticed - cell responds and the cells around it respond.
