One of the causes of morbidity for the Zika Virus is Guillain-Barré Syndrome, an immune attack of nerve cells. One possible mechanism for this is the virus's interference with normal immune function. In HIV the virus uses the CD4 receptor to enter T-cells. To assess if this might be a possibility in Zika infections BLAST the CD4 Reference Sequence (NG 027688.1) against the Zika Virus (taxid:64320) choosing "blastn" under Program Selection (select all that apply): O None of the recovered sequences have identities of greater than 80%. O Multiple Zika virus isolates are observed to have E-values of less than 0.02. O High scoring BLAST hits are observed in Zika virus isolates from humans, mosquitoes, and monkeys. O The BLAST hits return a partial cds collected in Uganda in 1947 - isolate Uganda1947.

A number of vaccines against the SARS-CoV-2 virus (which causes COVID) are currently in use. Based on what you learned about the immune system and vaccines, this vaccine should provide immunity against this virus because: a Vaccines bind to the variable region of immunoglobulins, and prevent the antibody-antigen interactions required for the virus to be released from cells. b Vaccines elicit a primary immune response and resulting memory cells specific to the viral antigens can persist in the body c Vaccines block clonal expansion of helper T cells which are required for the virus to infect cells d Vaccines block the production of cytokines e Vaccines induce cytotoxic T cells to produce antibodies specific to antigens on the virus
When an antibody binds to the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2, it may block access of the spike protein to the ACE2 protein on human cells. This is one way an antibody can prevent the virus from attaching to and getting inside of human cells. But antibodies can do more than just block virus entry. Due to the symmetrical structure of the immunoglobulin molecule, it can bind to two antigen molecules simultaneously, like this: As a result, antibodies can cross-link multiple viruses in a three-dimensional network. Using this diagram as a starting point, draw several additional viruses and antibodies to illustrate what a cross-linked antigen-antibody complex might look like.

COVID-19 is caused by infection with a novel corona virus, SARS-CoV-2. Testing someone for active infection involves examining samples taken from the nasal mucosa for fragments of the virus. Another type of testing involves examining blood for the presence of antibodies that can bind to SARS-CoV-2. Use what you've learned about the immune system. What are the suggested reasons why someone would possess antibodies to SARS-CoV-2.
A researcher performs an experiment where he infects 2 mice (Mouse A and Mouse B) with herpes simplex virus (HSV). To measure the cytotoxicity of CD8+ T cells from Mouse A, he isolates CD8+ T cells from Mouse A and co-cultures them with a mixture of HSV-infected spleen cells from Mouse B. A day later, he checks the co-culture, but none of the infected spleen cells from Mouse B have been killed. What could explain this observation? a.Mouse B does not express the invariant chain (Ii) b.Mouse A and Mouse B express different MHC alleles c.Mouse A does not express TLR2/6 d.HSV immunoevasins block MHC-II expression
Discuss the sequence of SARS COV2 indispensable functions on binding and life cycle. Give the significance of receptor recognition for infection and transmission. In which of these parts/ stages will provide potential for drug design target or vaccine production, explain your answer
From: "Towards a universal flu vaccine" Each year, the flu vaccine includes antigens from two strains of Influenza A and two strains of Influenza B. These antigens are from the head of the H spikes an area that sticks out from the virus and so, is very easy for human immune cells to detect. However, the problem with using the head of the H spike as an antigen is... O The H spike head mutates very rapidly, so quickly changes to forms not recognized by human immune cells. O The H spike head is exposed on the surface of the virus for only a short period of time. Viruses quickly pull the H spikes back inside the virus, shiclding them from human immune cells. O The H spike head is often too big for the human immune cells to attack. O The H spike head is often too small for the human immune cells to bind to.
C – REACTIVE PROTEIN CRP Latex Test CRP is a rapid latex agglutination test kit for the detection of C-Reactive Protein in human serum. C-Reactive Protein (CRP) in patient’s sera has been found in association with acute infections, necrotic conditions and a variety of inflammatory disorders. There is a strong correlation between serum levels of CRP and the onset of the inflammatory process. Monitoring the levels of CRP in patient’s sera indicates the effectiveness of treatment and the assessment of patient recovery. Questions: 1. Illustrate how latex agglutination works to bind C-reactive proteins to cause agglutination 2. Give the normal value of CRP 3. Why is CRP significant? Is CRP specific to one disease?

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.
Over the past year we have endured the Covid-19 pandemic. Accumulating evidence suggests that the host immunity response is contributing in severe forms COVID-19 caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). COVID-19 causes mild to severe illness with high morbidity and mortality, especially in preexisting risk groups. These immunologic reactions in severe COVID-19 may characterize the cytokine storm that is associated with untoward clinicopathological consequences. The cytokine storm is an out-of-control cytokine release that has been observed in some infectious and noninfectious diseases, leading to a hyperinflammation condition in the host. This immune response has been associated with a higher intensive care unit (ICU) admissions and mortality in COVID-19. In fact, higher concentrations of granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF), interferon gamma-induced protein 10 (IP10), monocyte chemo-attractant protein 1 (MCP1), macrophage inflammatory protein…
