the sweat glands than in the cells of the repiratory and intestinal epithelia (Kalin N et al, 1999). The tissue specificity of the CFTR mutation is dependent on the amount of CFTR mRNA transcribed in each of the epithelial cells. In the respiratory system and the intestinal tract of cystic fibrosis patients the expression of the CFTR mutation ranged from no expression of the protein to normal amounts which indicactes that the CFTR exprssion is higher in tissues with a higher cholride ion…

transformation are called transgenic plants. One of the key factors that define success of potential edible vaccines is the selection of important epitope region(s) from the pathogen of interest. Gene of interest which codes for the antigen and the expression system should be compatible with the selected plant. For the production of plant based vaccines edible parts of different plants are mostly utilized. Fruits like banana cereals like rice and leaves of tobacco and tubers like potatoes and…

E) All of these are correct. ____ 80. The resistance stage of the stress response A) precedes the fight-or-flight response. B) is mediated primarily by CRH, GHRH,…

the NOD2/CARD15 “nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain containing 2” that is located on chromosome 16.This chromosomes main function is to help the body attack foreign invaders, it identifies the virus or bacteria and initiates the auto immune system to respond to the invasion. Mutations to this chromosome can increase the chances for a person to get Crohn’s disease, more than 40 variations been found in association to the disease [14].The most known variation of the NOD2 is 3020insC or…

Neutrophils are hazardous lines of protection against infection and are attracted chemically to inflammatory sites. Basophils consist of granules, which are histamine filled. Histamine a chemical that’s inflammatory. Collectively, both cell types are related to Harold’s chronic atrophic gastritis. This is the reason for Harold’s elevation change in his White blood cell count.
