Because of its shape, these immunoglobulins are able to start the lysis of cells more efficiently than the other immunoglobulins. Due to this, IgM are often the first immunoglobulins created after an infection or injection has occurred. This immunoglobulin is the first class to be synthesized by the fetus and thus can…

Introduction Plasmids, circular pieces of DNA that can replicate independently from the host cell’s DNA, have been extensively used to transform cells in biological research to study the effects of particular genes of interest (Lau et al., 2013). A plasmid’s basic components include a replication origin, a DNA marker, and a multiple cloning site, which are sufficient for the plasmid to replicate itself and help the transformed cell to exhibit characteristics indicating successful transformation…

transduction as a tool to firmly introduce a foreign gene into a host cell’s genome. Transduction can either occur through the lytic cycle or the lysogenic cycle. The lytic cycle leads to the production of new phage particles which are released by lysis of the host. After reproducing, these viruses accumulate and irregularly remove a portion of the host cell's bacterial DNA. When one of these bacteriophages infects a new host cell, this piece of bacterial DNA may be merged into the genome of the…

This is a 26-year-old female with a 2/9/2015 date of injury, due to a slip and fall. DIAGNOSIS: Left knee lateral meniscal tear; LEFT knee Arthroscopy with partial lateral meniscectomy, tricompartmental synovectomy, lysis of adhesions, & debridement on 10/23/15 11/13/15 UD testing report indicates negative results for the prescribed opioids that the patient has been inconsistent with Hydrocodone and Tramadol. 8/25/15 progress report described that the patient presented with ongoing left knee…

stable latent state, they will infect cells that replicate quickly. Finally, the assembled capsid promotes the replication shift from synthesizing duplex DNA to single negative sense strand, which will be packed in with virion and will be released upon lysis of…

The Bubonic Plague is a bacteria known as Yersinia Pestis that infects the lymphatic system causing it to become inflamed (Tonsils, Adenoids, Spleen, and Thymus). The bacteria needs calcium to grow but when there is no calcium it produces amino acids called aspartic acid. Aspartic acid raises the blood plasma level of aspartate and glutamate. This excess can lead to damage of sensitive neurons. It can also help generate cellular energy, balance neurochemistry, and help the liver rid the body of…

cells in the absence of the MHC receptor, allowing a much faster immune response. The lack or downregulation of MHC receptors on the surface of target cells triggers NK cell cytotoxicity, allowing NK cells to destroy tumor and virus-infected cells by lysis. At the same time, NK cells stimulate and guide other cells, including lymphocytes (T and B cells) of the adaptive immune system, to the area of infection to help increase the immune response and generate memory and effector cells that aid in…

When you get to the section where the animation separates into plant and animal cells, select animal cells: 
2. What are the two steps taken at the beginning of the process to break down the cell membrane? a. Adding lysis solution to tube which dissolves membrane bound organelles b. Twisting a clean pestle against surface and grinding the tissue which breaks up the cell walls and other tough materials 3. What is the first step to separate the cellular…

Multiple Myeloma (MM) is characterised by malignancy of antibody-secreting B-cells that accumulate in the bone marrow . Tumour growth promotes hypoxia in the tumour environment. Hypoxic inducible factors (HIFS) are heterodimeric proteins composed of an inducible alpha-subunit and a constitutively expressed beta-subunit. In this experiment, the hypothesis being tested was if HIF1α and HIF2α regulate different genes in multiple myeloma. This was tested using the cross chromatin immunoprecipitation…

Vaccination is the process of injecting antigenic material to stimulate immune response. Conventional vaccines insert attenuated or killed infectious agent, such as virus or antigenic protein, into the body to stimulate immune system to develop immunity against the pathogen. However, this type of vaccines has some weakness. For example, attenuated virus may suddenly become very active in the body and cause disease instead of stimulating immune response. Conventional vaccines also unable to…
