Severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) can be caused by failure of T-cell receptor signaling. This is a genetic defect which affects the function of T cells. These cells play an important role in helping the immune system fight infections caused by foreign invaders (bacteria, virus, fungi). The children born with this defect die within one year of their birth because of having such a weak immune system.
Hence, the correct option is (c)
Hope it helps

1.One group of immune deficiency diseases is caused by an inability of CD8 effector T cells to kill virus-infected target cells, due to defects in cytotoxic vesicle exocytosis. Because of the inflammatory response that accompanies a normal virus infection, together with the prolongation of this response due to the inability to control the infection, patients with these disorders suffer from tissue damage caused by the infiltration of effector CD8 cells and activated macrophages into multiple organs. In addition, a subset...

Question 5 (2 points) Which is the most appropriate sequence of events in B cell signaling? Question 5 options: A) Antigen binds BCR, intracellular receptor kinases (such as Fyn, Lyn or Blk) are activated, Syk is recruited to ITAMs on Igα/Igβ. B) Antigen binds BCR, Syk is recruited to ITAMs on Igα/Igβ. intracellular receptor kinases (such as Fyn, Lyn or Blk ) are activated, C) Syk becomes activated, the BCR can now bind an antigen, and intracellular kinases are activated....

Question 1 (1 point) Vasoconstriction occurs when epinephrine (adrenaline) binds to the a-adrenergic receptor on vascular smooth muscle cells. One way to treat high blood pressure is to administer competitive inhibitors that bind to this receptor. The Kd for binding of epinephrine to this receptor is ~UM. Based on the measured affinity (Kd) of the following drugs for the a-adrenergic receptor, which might be good candidates for high blood pressure medication? Drug A: Kd = 0.6 M; Drug B: Kd...
