Ostrovityanka [42]2 years ago

Any type of extreme stress can cause an increase in leukocyte count, leading in leukocytosis. A burn is more likely to stimulate leukocyte proliferation in order to fight infection, which is a concern when the skin's barrier function is compromised.

<h3>Wha is leukocytosis?</h3>

Leukocytosis means you have a high white blood cell count. This means you have more white blood cells than usual. Leukocytosis is a normal immune response and not always a cause for concern. Most of the time, this means  your body is fighting an infection or inflammation.

Causes of leukocytosis -

neutrophils: inflammation and infection.

lymphocytosis: leukemia and viral infections.

monocytosis: cancer and other  infections.

eosinophils: parasites and allergies.

Which of the following is correct with regard to HIV infection? A The host cell receptor is GP120 which the viral spike protein
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

B The host cell receptor is CD4 which the viral spike protein GP120 will bind to.

Explanation:

In HIV binding and entry, the HIV protein envelope, glycoprotein GP120 binds to the host primary cellular receptor CD4 to fuse to the host cell membrane and then initiate infection.

The virus presents itself as viral membrane spikes (molecular mimics of host molecules), these spikes consist of three molecules of gp120 which are linked together and anchored by gp41 protein to the membrane. The gp120 then binds to CD4 receptor of the host cell to facilitate viral entry int the host cell and further illicit other responses that lead to infection and dominance.
