To put an end to the COVID-19 pandemic, vaccines were developed against the virus and people eligible to receive these are encouraged to get vaccinated. How do these vaccines work? * The vaccine will not cause the disease, but will help develop the body’s first line of defense. The vaccine mimics the virus that causes the disease and triggers the creation of antibodies. No answer The presence of the virus in the vaccine will improve the innate immune response of the body. The vaccine causes a mild infection that will trigger the production of antibodies against the virus.

A study is testing the effectiveness of a new allergy medication. Sixty volunteers who reported they Which of the following is a true statement concerning the use of a placebo? experience allergies were randomly assigned to one of two groups: one with the new medication, and another with a placebo. After two weeks, the subjects' level of allergic symptoms was surveyed. O The placebo is given to one group of subjects to see if the subjects receiving the placebo experience fewer allergic symptoms than the subjects taking the new medication. O The placebo is given to one group of subjects to see if the subjects receiving the placebo experience more allergic symptoms than the subjects taking the new medication. O The placebo is given to one group of subjects to see if the subjects receiving the placebo think they have fewer allergic symptoms because they believe they are taking the new medication. O The placebo is given to one group of subjects to see if the subjects receiving the new…
What does innate mean? How is the innate immune system different from the adaptive immune system? Compare the strategies of innate immunity with strategies of adaptive immunity. Give specific examples. How do vaccines protect us from diseases? Which cells in the immune system become activated after the injection? Your answer should be written as 2 or more paragraphs with a total word count of 400 or more.
In regards to the SIR model, which of the following parameters can human behavior change in order to slow the spread of disease? Select ONLY the best answer. The contact rate (part of the Beta parameter). O The gamma parameter - the rate at which infection is cleared and immunity is gained. O The Delta parameter - the loss of immunity.
Which of the following statements can CORRECTLY be made about immunity? OIn innate immunity, the response to a second exposure to bacteria is faster than the response to the first exposure. O Innate immunity is required for the initiation and regulation of the adaptive immune response. O The adaptive immune response is effective against bacteria in general. Immunological memory is a characteristic of innate immunity 7 8 9 10 11 12
What is vaccination? What type of immunity is provided by vaccination?
Which of the following is true about innate immune system? Check all that apply. Rig-I-like receptors have the advantage of recognizing viruses by interacting with their spike proteins TLR signaling includes NF-kB pathways to induce synthesis of proinflammatory cytokines TLR binds to dsDNA or ssRNA to induce interferon gene expression PRR induced secretion of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines have local and systemic effects PRR induces innate immunity; phagocytosis, inflammation, type I interferon production, and regulate adaptive immunity; DC maturation, costimulatory molecules, type I interferon
What are features of adaptive immunity? Select all that apply. Antigen receptors are produced by gene recombination. There is no long-term persistence of immunity. The response time is about a week. Specificity is limited to about 1,000 PAMPS.
Which of the following is true about the immune system? Check all that apply. CD4 T Cells kill infection cell efficiently, whereas CD8 T cells only make cytokins Bone marrow and thymus are primary lymphoid organs and spleen and lymph nodes are secondary lymphoid organs Dendritic cells (DC) are the professional antigen presenting cells, whereas macrophages and B cells can present antigen for the second time. Immune response occurs mainly in the secondary lymphoid organs DC present antigens to T cells in the context of MHC, whereas B cells see antigens on their own in native conformational form
