If you were exposing various chemical concentrations to cells, how would you interpret the following graphs? (1) Classic-dose response curve; (2) No Observable Adverse Effect Level; (3) Toxicity-dose response curve; and (4) No response a low level and dose response at high level. Please be detailed in answering the question.

Find compounds (drugs and toxicants) that target each of the following: A receptor tyrosine kinase pathway.

- The name of the receptor involved

- The type of ligand that the drug or toxicant presents: Agonist, antagonist. Are there natural ligands that interact with the receptor? If so explain the interaction.

Provide a brief explanation of the mechanism of the cellular response upon ligand binding to the receptor (i.e what signal transduction mechanisms occur).

How does the cellular response translate into a physiological response? What are the intended target tissue(s)? Are there any reported examples for the drug/toxicant acting on an off-target site?

Have there been any toxicology studies that assessed the dose response relationship of the compound? Provide data on TD50, LD50 and TI if you were able to find it. If not available, please note that.
