Question

1. Type I diabetes is actually an autoimmune disorder, in which the immune system attacks the insulin-producing cells of the pancreas. Antibodies against many proteins in pancreatic cells, including insulin, can be detected in the blood of people with Type I diabetes. What likely happened during the development of lymphocytes to cause Type I diabetes? (one to two sentences)

2. Edward Jenner used cowpox to immunize people against the related disease smallpox. What must these two viruses have had in common in order for this to be effective? (one to two sentences)

Answer 1

1.A new type of lymphocytes has been discovered by the researchers commonly known as the X lymphocytes which causes strong binding of peptide and the cells of the immune system. It is found out that protein quickens the destruction of cells in the pancreas producing insulin which causes type 1 diabetics to occur.

2. The main virus which caused smallpox was the variola virus. Variola virus which causes cowpox is related very closely to smallpox virus hence a mild injection of cowpox virus helped to immunize the body against deadly smallpox disease.
