|
IL -5
|
|
Mycophenolic acid produces immune modulation through which mechanism? Prevents natural killer cell-mediated activation by inhibiting phosphadytilinositol 3 kinase, Inhibits calcinuerin mediated transcription of IL2, Purine analogue which inhibits synthesis of DNA in proliferating lymphocytes, Binds to mammalian target of rapamycin, leading to inhibitionof T cell proliferation,
|
Purine analogue which inhibits synthesis of DNA I nproliferating lymphoctyes
|
|
What surfactant proteins are ceollecings modulating the innate immune system by binding to microorganisms and facilitating phagocytois? (within in the epithelial cells)
|
A and D
|
|
The epithelial cells secrete anti-bacterial proteins called what ? 2 of them
|
Beta defensins and lysozyme
|
|
Which enzyme secreted by epithelial cells hydrolyzes structural components of bacterial cell wall?
|
Lysozyme
|
|
Why is the endothelium more permeable during an acute inflammatory process?
|
b/c epithelium has tight junctions so it’s less permeable.
|
|
Which drug (transplant) prevents actitation of NK cells? Prevents IL-2 transcription?
|
calcinuerin inhibitor: Tacrolimus/cyclosprin: (when APC interacts w/ T cells, calcieurin is activated and increases transcription of IL2 and other cytokines which activate NK cells)
|
|
Which drug (lung transplant) inhibits DNA synthesis, and affects proliferating cells, such as T and B cells)
|
Purine analogue (azathioprine, mycophenolic acid/cellcept)
|
|
