a patient can do these at normal levels: neutralize a parasitic worm, phagoctize
microbes and fix complement. However the patient cannot activate CTLs at a normal
level. What part of the immune system does this patient most likely have deficiency in? -
✔✔class I MHC
you find a bacterium in a volcano that needs to translate an mRNA that will create a 190
amino acid protein before post-translational modification. How many glucose molecules
will he need to eat via anaerobic respiration to produce enough ATP/GTP to synthesize
one molecule of this protein? - ✔✔more than 15
people with HIV have no functional CD4+ T cells. what would you expect the immune
system in these individuals to no longer be able to do? - ✔✔activate macrophages
to be more hostile
-generate plasma cells and memory B cells through clonal selection
-generate CTLs through clonal selection to kill virus infected cells and tumor cells
how do you reach herd immunity? - ✔✔by getting vaccinated or infected
a new virus surface protein has been altered so greatly tha it can now bind to
human host cells. This is an example of: - ✔✔antigenic shift
,mRNA sequence of: "5'UCAUUCGCCCGAAACCAAAUGAG"
DNA template will be - ✔✔3' AGTAAGCGGGCTTT..."
who provides the lipids in a viral envelope - ✔✔the cell
all viruses have a protein coat - ✔✔true
a virulent phage can inadvertently package host cell chromosome into phage particles
- ✔✔true
you have a bacterium that picks up a new gene by Hfr conjugation. what is an
explanation of why progeny of this bacterium express this trait? - ✔✔the gene
is integrated into the genome
after successful transformation of a fragment of chromosomal DNA, the recipient
(female) will become a donor (male) capable of creating a sex pili to transfer DNA -
✔✔false
you isolate a virulent page. It can perform specialized transduction - ✔✔false
you want to know if a baby still has vaccine neutralizing antibody that it received from
its mom in utero. Which of the following types of ELISAs would you run? one that
tests for - ✔✔IgG
in differential centrifugation, virus is first centrifuged at a slow speed, the supernatant
is removed and re-centrifuged at a very fast speed - ✔✔true
Virus stocks prepared by differential centrifugation and gradient centrifugation
are equally clean - ✔✔false
, hemagglutination assay - ✔✔determines highest dilution of virus that causes
red blood cells to clump together
cytopathic effect - ✔✔a visible effect on a host cell, caused by a virus, that may
result in host cell damage or death
immuno fluorescence assay - ✔✔primarily on biological samples and is
classically defined as a procedure to detect antigens in cellular contexts using
antibodies.
plaque assay - ✔✔method used to measure the number of viral particles present in
a sample
a temperate phage can inadvertently package host cell chromosome into phage
particles - ✔✔true
you isolate a bacterium that can transfer genes to other bacteria only when it is in
direct contact with these bacteria. it is most likely transferring the genes by -
✔✔conjugation
a piece of host cell dna bound to a piece of phage dna after excising from the
chromosome. when this phage that contains host cell dna infects a new cell, will
the new cell be killed by this infection? - ✔✔no
after successful generalized transduction, the recipient (female) will become a
donor (male) capable of creating a sex pili to transfer dna - ✔✔false
can a temperate phage perform generalized and specialized transduction? - ✔✔yes
