Destruction of lymphocytes with self-specificity is called clonal deletion.

Clonal deletion is the removal through apoptosis of B cells and T cells that have expressed receptors for self before developing into fully immunocompetent lymphocytes. This prevents recognition and destruction of self host cells, making it a type of negative selection or central tolerance.

Clonal selection is antigenic-specific selection of a lymphocyte that activates it to produce clones of effector cells dedicated to eliminating the antigen that provoked the initial immune response. Clonal selection is the theory that specific antigen receptors exist on lymphocytes before they are presented with an antigen due to random mutations during initial maturation and proliferation.

Hence, the correct option is A

How are cancer therapies tailored to nucleotide synthesis -explain using the example of fluorouracil and methotrexate.
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

By preventing the synthesis of DNA halting cell growth.

Explanation:

Fluorouracil and methotraxate prevent the synthesis of the neucleoside Thymidine thus preventing DNA replication and elongation. Methotraxate has a structure analogous to Folic acid which is important for thymidine synthesis. Thus, it acts as a competitive inhibitor on dihdrofolate reductase an enzyme that is essential for tetrahydrofolate formation, a folic acid derivative.

Fluorouracil acts by inhibiting thymidylate synthase which catalyses an essential step in Thymidine synthesis.

Ketone bodies, the byproduct of fat metabolism, if found in the urine can be indicative of what life threatening disorder?
Ugo [173]

Answer:

uncontrolled 1 diabetes mellitus.

Explanation:

Keto bodies elevation of the urine is due to:

1.non availability of glucose in the blood to be used by the cells for biochemical activities,

OR

GLUCOSE can not enter cells because of absence of INSULIN hormone which moderate GLUT TRANSPORTERS 1 and 4 for entry of glucose into cells in induvidual with Type 1 diabetes.

TYPE 1 diabetes is a condition where the pancreas beta cells refused to secret hormone insulin,therefore affecting the entry of glucose into cells. Leading to elevated blood glucose level,and loss in the urine (Hypoglycemia from polyuria(too much urination.)Because the primary function of insulin is to facilitate the uptake of glucose into cells.

In this induvidual the liver converted excess tryglycerides to glucose in a process called GLUCONEOGENESIS(. The prouction of glucose from non carbohydrate compounds.)

The metabolized lipids leads to build up of byproduct ketone bodies in the blood.This produce ketosis and later progress to Ketoacidosis or metabolic acidosis
