So, I thought it would be easier if we posted the final exam questions here instead of on individual papers.
—Which of the following are characteristics of asthma?
Differences between glucocorticoids and corticosteriods include?
A. only glucocorticoids can be used to treat asthma.
c. both corticosteriods and glucocorticoids can be used to treat asthma.
d. corticosteroids acetylate histone proteins around imflammatory genes.
How is the Vitamin D receptor believed to be associated with asthma?
a. a mutation in the vit D receptor causes transscription and translation of inflammatory genes.
b. introns in the Vit D receptor gene are believed to be requlatory elements for inflammitory cytokines genes.
d. Is supported by the fact that some allergens are known to help develope the Th1 responce.
1. What are differences between invertebrate and vertebrate immune systems?
—2. Which statements are true about melanization?
3. Explain why regulation of the immune system is important and give an example of how it is regulated.
Toll receptors in flies are analagous to what time of molecules in vertebrates?
1. What enables malaria to make it difficult for a vaccine to target their destruction?
—What are some symptoms or characteristics seen in malaria patients?
As young Beau took a trip to Africa he stumbled across a turtle. When he bent over to pick this turtle up he exposed his crack and invited a female Anopheles mosquito in for dinner. He felt a small prick! “Ouch!” said Beau, “What am I to do, I think I’ve just been infected with malaria!” The first thing Beau could think of is the paper on Malaria that Willie and Ryan had written so well in Dr. Robson’s immunology class. Beau thinks to himself about what he can do to save himself, but becomes soo weak from the thought of infection that he passes out.
Moments later Beau starts to dream… He wakes up to the sound of engines roaring and looks up to see he is on a journey inside the Magic School Bus alongside Ms. Frizzle and gang! They are exploring the steps of malarial infection inside Beau’s friend Vanessa. Imagine you are alongside Beau and Ms Frizzle as they watch how malaria infects Vanessa. Sequence those events in the order they would happen below.
A. Red blood cells burst.
B. Malaria sporozoites infect hepatocytes.
C. Gametocytes are taken up by another mosquito.
D. Merozoites infect of red blood cells.
E. Malaria passes through urine.
Which of the following are reasons why HIV-1 is able to escape the human immune system?
a. HIV is transmitted more easily through ruptured mucosal tissue.
Which of the following are similarities between a western blot and an ELISA?
What are some differences between T cells and B cells?
Similarities between type 1 and type 4 hypersensitivity reactions?
Which of the following are true about AB production?
a. uses VDJ recombination to make Ab that can bind to different epitopopes.
Which of the following is true about Ab function?
Provide an example of a pathogen that can evade our immune system and how it accomplishes this evasion.
- The influenza virus covers its dsRNA with a protien, so the dsRNA is not detected (RNases and protein kinases made by interferons are only activated in the presence of dsRNA).
The Outer membrane of a gram negative bacteria (composed of LPS) can be recognized and/or broken down by which of the following components?
The peptidoglycan cell wall composed of NAG and NAM can be recognized and/or broken down by which of the following components?
How do the following microbes evade our immune system?
If a Macrophage recongizes a pathogen via it's TLRs it releases which of the following.
The productions realease from the macrophage above will cause endothelial cells to do which of the following?
This responce of the endothelial cells causes the nuertophil to do which of the following.
The moleucles eleased form the macrophage above also causes dendricitc cells to do what.
