Homework Answers

Answer #1

Ans39) it is a waterborne disease

Explanation: Neisseria meningitis is a sexually transmitted diseases .

Main virulence factors for Neisseria meningitis are capsule,Opa protein, and phase variation.

Neiseria meningitis cross brain blood barrier in approximately 60% cases

There are vaccine available for bacterial nesseria mengitidis

Ans-40)E)None of the above is true

Explanation:B cell represent humoral-mediated immunity portion of the adaptive immune responsewhile Tell represent cell mediated immune response.

Bell itself act as professional Antigen presenting cell which present antigen to Tell for their activation

Memory. Cell do not form antibodies infact they are memory cell formed on first encountor but on reexposure antigen they differentiate into plasma B cell which produce antibodies.

B cell respond to viral infections.

Adaptive immunity has several features that distinguish it from innate immunity. Specificity in that each adaptive immune response is induced by a particular antigen, or surface feature that generates an antibody. An innate immune response might be stimulated by a PAMP, while an adaptive immune response is stimulated by a single feature of a bacteria. In addition, cells of adaptive immunity, B and T cells, are allowed to proliferate under certain conditions to mount a defense, this feature is clonality...

1. Neutralizing antibodies are effective at preventing infection or toxicity mediated by pathogens or their toxic products. In fact, nearly all vaccines currently in use function by eliciting neutralizing antibodies. The most important feature of a neutralizing antibody is: A. Having a high degree of multi-valency, such as being a pentamer or hexamer of immunoglobulin monomers B. Having high affinity for the antigen C. Being present at a high concentration in the circulation D. Being efficient at activating the complement...
