Bioinformatics coursework- report on IL2RG IL2RG (Interleukin 2 receptor, gamma) serves as a receptor for cytokines IL2, IL4, IL7, IL15 and IL21 (Brandt et al, 2007). The binding of IL2 regulates the activation, differentiation and proliferation of lymphatic cells through both positive and negative feedback loops. It prevents autoimmune diseases during the maturation of T cells, as well as playing a key role in cell-mediated immunity (Liao et al, 2011). The IL2RG gene is located on the chromosome X: 71,107,404-71,112,108 and the chromosome band is q13.1. The structure of the IL2RG-004 transcript contains 8 coding exons and 369 residues when translated (Flicek et al, 2014).The sequence of the translated protein is shown below: >ENST00000374202 peptide: ENSP00000363318…
BCG makes initial contact with tumor cells by means of a fibronectin attachment protein, followed by internalization of the BCG in the cells directing a cell-mediated immunologic response. It has been found in recent studies to be a predominantly T-helper/inducer cell-mediated response with persistence of inflammatory cytokines (Th1-type) for a long time within the BCG- induced granulomas, which maybe be key factor in the recurrence-free state of the patient. The prolonged inflammation results…
Personal Statement I remember when I first move to the US, I just wanted to be a typical American kid. However, no matter how much I knew or what I did, there was something that always branded me as an “outsider” -- my name. I soon learned your unique identity or background is something you should embrace. This realization occurred as I encountered people from diverse backgrounds. Since my father was in the U.S army, I often found myself frequently thrust into a new environment. My journey…
that after the first pilgrimage, more are likely to follow. The student received two points from part A and six points from part B for a total of eight points. Sample 2: The student was asked to define core-periphery, distance-decay and child migration in part A. One point for each definition could have been awarded to the student. Sample 2 student did not accurately describe core-periphery and did not get the point for part A number 1; the student described an economic situation in a central…
girls have the looks that boys want, do the boys have the looks these girls want? Who knows, back to looking at my water spot, is it dry yet? Glancing over at the rest of the crowd, I now see everyone’s appearance is based on what we see in magazines and films, our looks have become everything, I see most of the boys and girls have put in an effort to look good, I even look at my brother and notice he has put hair gel in, last night he was arguing about having a shower never mind thinking about…
It is about recognizing those annoyances and deciding how “you” want to handle them. This _____________________ seems to do this thing that annoy me every day. - Yes there might be more than 1 and yet it has to begin somewhere. 1. 2. 3. Will annoyance number 1 make a major difference in my life next year? If the answer is yes, what differences will it make? Will annoyance number 2 make a major difference in my life next year? If the answer is yes, what differences will it make? Will…
than agreeable with your expectations. You are a partner not a boss. Not everything has to be done to one’s desire. Intentions are very important when giving, your opinion. A person needs to think before pointing out everything that is wrong in their eyes. The general response to this is returned. That sounds bad, but it is not necessarily horrible. It is the delivery of the words and not the words themselves that can be an issue. The best response is by rationally explaining the behavior…
drew 2 circles and then 9 more. He then added them together by counting them all to get 11 pennies, which is the answer. When solving the problem, he adds them by counting from 1 to 11, and he seems to have drawn 2 circles and then 9 more, following the time sequence. However, I never saw him count 2, 9, and then all of them, I only saw him count 1 to 11. Placement within Carpenter’s framework: Student A falls within the ‘direct modeling’ framework. Student A had a one to one correspondence…
This lesson was completed on April 4th, 2017. The lesson plan for this activity is attached. In this lesson I orally said a number between 20-29 aloud. Ally was to repeat the number back, write the number, and say the number again. I often asked Ally to repeat the number she constructed more than once to reiterate the number. When writing the numbers Ally would often say “How do you make 28?” I would say, “you need a 2 and an 8”. For almost all numbers I would have to cue Ally in writing the…
PS4 vs Xbox One The console wars have been going on since the late 1980’s. Every gamer has their preference on what they play. Whether it be PC, console, mobile, etc. Currently the two hottest consoles on the market are the Microsoft Xbox one and the Sony PS4. It has been over 3 years since these consoles have come out. They are both very good game consoles for this generation. They are both very similar in many ways, but they also have major differences. Trying to pick between PS4 and Xbox…
