Q

immunoglobulins made by Sabin polio vaccine?

A

live – both IgG and IgA on (mucosal surfaces)

Q

difference between Salk & Sabin’s polio vaccine

A

Salk - killed. less effective in generating prolonged oropharyngeal & intestinal IgA

Q

65
Q

describe glutamate-glutamine cycle

A

in neuron:

glutamate made 2 ways
1. glutamine -> glutamate + NH3
(via glutaminase)
2. alpha-ketoglutarate + NH3 --> glutamate

(via glutamine synthase)

glutamine is shuttled back into neurons

66
Q

how does hyperammonia affect glutamate-glutamine cycle

A
  1. in astrocyte, excess NH3 creates toxic accumulation of glutamine
