Humoral immunity

receptive anal intercourse, is a well-recognized risk factor for getting STIs, including HIV [38-41]. Possible explanations for this added risk is the susceptibility of rectal mucosa to traumatic abrasions during the intercourse and its lack of the humoral immunity of cervicovaginal secretions [39,42]. Furthermore, engaging in anal intercourse is also associated with lower rates of condom use and with other risky sexual behaviours including multiple sexual partners [39,40,43]. Tian et al.…

Numerous toxicants have some sought of an affect the human body. These come in a variety of ways, but in the process more often the most affected happens to be the respiratory, immune system, along with the liver. These are primary systems within the body that are vital in order for each of us function and survive. Therefore if by some chance these if any of these systems/organ manage to fail, the likely outcome would be that a person becomes very ill. While technology has come a long way, as…

Running head: DANGERS OF GMOS AND HEALTH EFFECTS ON ANIMALS: IS IT SAFE? Dangers of GMOs and Health Effects on Animals: Is It safe? Aliyah Panizzi Longwood University DANGERS OF GMOS AND HEALTH EFFECTS ON ANIMALS: IS IT SAFE? In discussions of GMOs, one controversial issue has been on the dangerous effects GMOs have on animal health. On the one hand, some scholars like Zhang and Shi state in their conclusion that GM plants have no effect on the organisms that consume them. On the other…

about 12 days after challenge (25,32). The exact mechanisms of this highly effective memory response upon reinfection is poorly understood, but it is generally accepted that both humoral and cellular components are necessary for a protective immunity, whereby IL-4 and IL-13 play a key role…

Tracy McCuiston Johnson Dr Scott Pathophysiology 15 March 2017 Crohn’s Disease ABSTRACT Crohn’s disease is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease characterized by inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract that progresses to lesions.. The etiology of Crohn’s disease is not known but it is thought that a combination of environmental and genetic factors are the cause. Researchers have found several defective genes involved in the relationship between the innate immune system and the microbiome of…

1 Hypothalamus – a small region of the brain that is a major link between the nervous and endocrine system. The hypothalamus controls the autonomic nervous system and regulates body temperature, hunger, thirst, fear, rage, and sexual behavior. The hypothalamus control feeling such as pain, stress, and emotional experiences. (1) 2 Pituitary gland – the “master endocrine gland” because it secretes many hormones that control other endocrine glands. It is a “pea-shaped structure that attaches to…

2. MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES: 2.1. What are Monoclonal Antibodies? 2.1.1. “Clones” A clone is a group (family) of cells which come from a single parent cell that divides various times and are identical in all ways. In their structure, metabolic characteristics, functions, etc. 2.1.2. “Antibodies” An antibody is a protein which is produced by the human body’s immune system when it detects a substance that may be harmful (antigens like: bacteria, viruses, chemicals, parasites, etc). Antibodies…

protective role in male hormones. However, it is also possible that the gene is carried on the X chromosome, making males less likely to contract the disease (Rahman, et al. 929). Autoantibodies are generated in people with SLE, meaning that the humoral immunity system has lost the ability to differentiate between foreign and native self. The most common autoantibody, anti-dsDNA, binds to double-stranded DNA in the cells and tissues; however, there are also anti-nucleosome, anti-Rho,…

For my anatomy class I was asked to write a paper of how a body system of my choice affects the other body systems. I chose the endocrine system, it is made up of many different glands, but every gland still does a part in making sure that organs in the other body systems are well balanced. I liked the endocrine system when we went over it in class and thought it would be an excellent choice. Especially since most of it has to do with the brain and I love to study the brain. I will cover all the…

The source I have selected is a handwritten outline for a lecture on the smallpox inoculation, an injection that releases a very minor for of the disease into the patient for trained immunity. The passage focuses on preparing the body before inoculation, especially in regards to humoralism and temporal changes. As the database only provided one image of the source, the source is approximately one-page long. Although short, the source delivers a very concise description of a case study of a young…
