A

idiotype

49
Q

A

lag

50
Q

True or False:

Granzymes are pore forming proteins present in the granules of CTLs that attach to target cell membranes

A

False.

Granzymes are released by CTLs and induce target cell apoptosis. Perforins are pore forming proteins released by CTLs

51
Q

Which is more desirable in the dairy industry:

High citrate:lactoferrin ratio or low citrate:lactoferrin ratio?

A

low citrate:lactoferrin ratio

High citrate:lactoferrin ratio encourages bacterial growth since citrate can be broken down by bacteria, releasing iron and encouraging bacterial growth and udder disease.

52

Many protozoa have thick cuticles that make them resistant to the cytocidal products of neutrophils and macrophages.

A

False, asshole.

This is true of helminths

57
Q

A

IL-5

58
Q

True or False:

IL-4 stimulates the development and clonal expansion of TH2 subset from naïve CD4 T cells.

A

True.

…Nice

59
Q

Binding of B-7 to this cell surface receptor results in functional inactivation of activated T-cells:

A

CTLA-4

CTLA-4 is only present on effector T cells. When it binds to B7-1 or 2 on APCs the T cell is inactivated.

IgA

61
Q

True or False:

Avidity refers to the strength of the binding between one Fab fragment of Ab and an epitope of an Ag.

A

False, you retard. This is the definition of affinity.

Avidity is the sum total of the strength of binding of all Fabs and available epitopes.
