15. Describe how antibodies may stop or prevent the steps of pathogenesis (may have to review chapter 15)
16. would B cell activation occur in a person whose T cells lack TCR or in a person who has no DC (dendritic cells)? Explain
17. Would T cell activation occur in a person who lacks the gene that specifies IL-2, IL-7, IL-15, CD 28 or B7? Explain
15. Antibiotics either kill bacteria or stop them from reproducing by allowing the body's natural defenses to eliminate the pathogens. They take advantage of the difference between the structure of the bacterial cell and the host’s cell.They either prevent the bacterial cells from multiplying so that the bacterial population does not change like blocking the process of building of bacterial cell wall etc.
16. B cell activation would occur as it depends on the specificity of binding resides in the B cell receptor (BCR). Dendritic cells are accessory cells of immune system which processes antigen material and presents it on the cell surface to the T cells of the immune system. So, B cell activation are not dependent on dendritic cells.
17. A number of secondary signals are required to activate T cells in order to provide a response to the threat, which are provided by CD 28. B7 produces costimulatory signals for activation T cells. Activated T cells produce IL-2, IL-7. IL-15 has a pivotal role in T cell activation. So, T cell activation would not occur in a person who lacks these genes.

Not sure how to answer these immunology questions! Help! 1) An otherwise healthy person is involved in an accident that requires kidney transplantation within a week. As the attending immunologist you are aware of three family members (no identical twins) that are willing to donate a kidney. What would you do to prepare the patient to minimize rejection?1) Detail three tests you would use to determine your ultimate donor tissue. Outline the rational that you would use to choice your...
Immunology Question
May you check my answers for 2a and 2b and see if: the
information is being accurately presented, there is no unneeded
information, and most importantly it is answering the question? I
added more information to strengthen my answer so hopefully, it is
better this time around. Thank you in advance!

1. NK cells are effective against viral infections because many virus infected cells a. are susceptible to lysis b. are susceptible to phagocytosis c. show reduced levels of MHC class I molecules d. show reduced levels of MHC class II molecules e. none of the above 2. Arachidonic acid serves as a substrate in the lipoxygenase and cyclooxygenase pathways resulting in the production of a. histamine, leukotrienes b. leukotrienes, prostaglandins...
DATE: NURS 208A NAME: 1. The function of ribosomes is to: 6. Inb Digest foreign bacteria and toxic substances Produces energy from glucose y Aid in cell division Synthesize proteins Which of the following statement is false about the cell membrane? 2. Cell membrane is composed of phospholipid layer The cell membrane prefers large molecules to pass through freely Cell membrane is a semipermeable boundary which determines what can enter and ex the cell The exterior surface is hydrophilic phosphate...

Please read the article bellow and discuss the shift in the
company's approach to genetic analysis. Please also discuss what
you think about personal genomic companies' approaches to research.
Feel free to compare 23andMe's polices on research with another
company's. Did you think the FDA was right in prohibiting 23andMe
from providing health information?
These are some sample talking points to get you thinking about
the ethics of genetic research in the context of Big Data. You
don't have to...
