Diagram the three pathways of complement.
Ans:- Complement system:- The complement system is a the part of immune system that enhance the abilities of antibodies and phagocytic cells to clear microbes and damaged cells from an organism promotes inflammation and attacks the pathogen's cells membrane.
Complement system has three pathways:-
1. Classical pathway ( antigen antibodie pathway),
2. Lectin pathway (Mannose binding lectin ( MBL) pathogen pathway),
3. Alternative pathway ( pathogen pathway).
Diagram of these three pathways of complement is shown in the following image:-
How do the three complement pathways activate the complement system?
for the three pathways for complement activation (alternative, lectin, and classical), which pathway is the least efficient at clearing invading bacteria? for C3 cleavage and amplification cascade, what goes in and what comes out?
4. Why are there THREE complement pathways i.e. if classical was absent, how would that affect the innate immune response, if alternative was absent, how would that affect the innate immune response, etc?
You have generated three different strains of mice each strain completely missing the complement protein indicated in the table below, Predict the effect of each missing protein on the event indicated in the 1 column of the table. Fill in the table (each box labeled 1-9) with one of the following symbols: (12 pts.) NE = no effect on the event because none of the complement pathways are blocked D = event will be decreased. but not eliminated because some,...

All of the above can be activated by antibodies. e. None of the above can be activated by antibodies. 2. Which of the following cells are leukocytes? a. NK cells b. neutrophils c. monocytes d. all of the above e, none of the above 3 Which of the following cells are lymphocytes? a. NK...

there are three pathways for pathogens to to enter the ear, what are they?
Compare and contrast the pathways of auditory and visual processing by creating a schematic diagram (either drawn out by hand or created using PowerPoint or other software). This can be in a simple box-and-arrow format. Start at the hair cells in the auditory system, and the retina in the visual system (you can be general here, no need to go through the details of photoreceptor/bipolar cell/ganglion cell stuff) and work your way up to the primary sensory cortex for each...
C. Diagram a representation of the reaction time experiment involving the ruler showing the nerve pathways in the human body. From this diagram what is the theoretical minimum reaction time? What was you average reaction time? Explain the difference between these 2 numbers.
Based on your knowledge of complement activation pathways, predict which group of pathogens would be MOST susceptible to lysis by MACs. Gram-negative pathogens Enveloped viruses Gram-positive pathogens Gram-negative pathogens and enveloped viruses are equally susceptible. Gram-negative pathogens and enveloped viruses are equally susceptible. Every possible light chain that could be formed, in terms of receptor specificity, is encoded by a separate gene within the human genome. Light chains are produced by means of somatic rearrangement of germ-line DNA in B...
