Mycobacteria are intracellular pathogens that have adapted to life inside phagocytic cells, such as macrophages. These intracellular bacteria are taken up by phagocytosis, similar to other pathogens, but the bacteria are not killed. One possible mechanism that could account for this immune evasion by mycobacteria is their ability to:
Prevent induction of nitric oxide production in the phagosome
Prevent the acidification of phagosomes
Prevent the expression of antimicrobial peptides in the phagosome
Prevent fusion of phagosomes with lysosomes
Kill the macrophage before it kills them
Immune systems of animals are very complex. For an animal's immune system to work properly, certain cells must be able to recognize other specific types of cells, so that they can bind to and communicate with them. These types of interactions allow an immune system to decide if and when to launch an immune response.
For example, dendritic cells must be able to recognize and interact with T-cells, but they do not need to recognize adipocyte cells. Which of the following describes a difference between T-cells and adipocyte cells that would allow dendritic cells to recognize one, but not the other?
A. Adipocyte cells must have a cell wall, while T-cells lack one.
B. T-cells and adipocyte cells must have different types of lipids that compose their plasma membranes.
C. Adipocyte cells must lack endoplasmic reticulum, while T-cells possess endoplasmic reticulum.
D. T-cells and adipocyte cells must have some differences in the carbohydrates and/or…

The immune response to helminthic worm infections in the gastrointestinal tract requires specialized mechanisms due to the fact that helminths are too large to be ingested and destroyed by phagocytes.

Name two of these cell types and for each of them, their response to TH2-produced cytokines.arrow_forward

As you can observe from the video, there are three stages to this process: 1) an initial phase characterized by fast recruitment of neutrophils (red) to the site of injury followed by 2) the slower recruitment of macrophages after which 3) the interaction between both cell types is stabilized. Recruitment to the injury site is mediated by leukotriene B4 (LTB4), a potent immune signaling molecule (Figure 1A). LTB4 binds to BLT1, a G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR), activating various signaling pathways and resulting in immune cell migration to the site of injury (Figure 1B).
