What is one way that cancer cells typically avoid being detected and targeted by immune cells, such as T cells? There is immune tolerance/immunosuppression in the microenvironment around tumor cells Tumor cells contain unique antigens that change frequently Tumor cells replicate slowly and are therefore not generally detectable There is excessive inflammation in the tumor microenvironment, preventing an adaptive immune response Tumor cells undergo rapid mutations, and the immune system cannot keep pace with these changes

Which of the following statements are TRUE about the process of inflammation? (Select all that apply) Inflammation can occur with only the innate immune response involved. Leukocytes or white blood cells are found everywhere in the body to carry out inflammation as needed Growth factor from non-skin cells is responsible for the formation of scar tissue in place of the damaged skin cells The increase of warmed blood to a site of injury comes from the hypothalamus Phagocytes engulf invading microbes and dead white blood cells Phagocytosis is used during inflammation to make sure there is no debris
Explain the mechanism of the Cancer therapy by inhibition of negative immune regulation, don’t forget to mention about Cytotoxic T Lymphocyte Antigen 4 Mechanism and Programmed cell death protein 1 Mechanism and the receptors. Please all details needed all the proteins everything needs to be in the answer. and i need a long answer not just two words for each. I will rate. If you can use tables it would be great if no it’s okay. I will rate. No hand-written.
In the case of cancer, uncontrolled cell division is a problem because it Top of Form lowers t-cell and lymphocyte production requires unreasonable hydration rates causes excessive white cell production interferes with other cell replication
HIV could be used to cure Kaposi’s sarcoma bya. causing the cells to express exogenous surface cell markersb. activating genes for the expression of endogenous surface cell markersc. inactivating the patient’s tumor suppressing genesd. inactivating contact inhibition in the celle. inactivating cellular adherence
Herpes Simplex Virus 1 (HSV-1) causes lifelong infection with potential for multiple reactivation events. Which of the following explain why the virus can cause repeat episodes of disease with reactivation in the presence of a secondary immune response? O HSV-1 requires a state of immunosuppression of HSV 1 specific memory cells to allow for reactivation O HSV-1 lacks PAMPS to be recognized by lymphocytes HSV-1 produces protein A that will inhibit IgA activity in the saliva HSV-1 interferes with IL-2 secretion HSV-1 disables MHC I and interferon alpha to suppress immune recognition
Which of the following best describes superantigens? O Superantigens are a class of antibodies that act as antigens presented by MHCII of antigen- presenting cells to overstimulate almost 30% of the T cells of the immune system, which overexpress proinflammatory cytokines leading to immunopathology that can result in multiple organ failures. O Superantigens are a class of antigens that can overstimulate almost 30% of the T cells of the immune system, which overexpress proinflammatory cytokines leading to immunopathology that can result in multiple organ failures. O Superantigens are a class of antigens that can overstimulate the B cells to produce a large number of non-specific antibodies that attack cells in our body leading to immunopathology and multiple organ failure. O Superantigens are a class of antigens that can overstimulate almost 30% of the B cells of the immune system, which overexpress proinflammatory cytokines leading to immunopathology that can result in multiple organ…
Which of the following would produce the most severe immunocompromised condition? Clogged arteries reduce the efficiency with which cells can move throughout the body A virus attacks mast cells, so that they are not able to release signaling factors when they encounter pathogens A mutation in the gene that controls keratin synthesis produces extremely brittle hair, both inside & outside the body Severe burns damaged multiple layers of the skin, so secretions of mucus, sweat & oil are all significant lower than normal None of these conditions affect the immune system
Activated complement proteins__________. a. form attack complexes b. promote inflammation c. attract phagocytic cells d. all of the above
The elimination of self-reactive thymocytes is called ________. positive selection. negative selection tolerance. clonal selection.
Complement proteins function in defense by _______. a. neutralizing toxins b. enhancing resident bacteria c. promoting inflammation d. forming pores that cause pathogens to disintegrate e. both a and b f. both c and d
Figure 42.11 Which of the following statements about T cells is false? Helper T cells release cytokines while cytotoxic T cells kill the infected cell. Helper T cells are CD4+, while cytotoxic T cells are CD8+. MHC II is a receptor found on most body cells, while MHC I is a receptor found on immune cells only. The T cell receptor is found on both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells.
Activated complement proteins ________. a. puncture cells c. attract macrophages b. promote inflammation d. all of the above
