* More than 40 proteins and glycoproteins involved in the complement system are synthesized by the liver, macrophages, epithelial cells, they are present in the blood in plasmatic form, membrane, some have an enzymatic activity, regulator or membrane receptorThese are elements of the humoral innate immune response, they fight infections, purify immune complexes and apoptotic bodies.
<span>There are indeed three ways to activate the complement:</span>
Classical pathway: Activated by Immunoglobulins in immune complexes, aggregated Immunoglobulins, DNA, CRP, apoptotic bodies .......it involves nine fractions, starting with C1, then C4, C2, C3, to form a classical C5 convertase, then, activation of C5, C6, C7, C8, C9.

Alternative pathway: activated by polysaccharides (bacterial endotoxin), vascular wall poor in sialic acid, aggregated IgE ...C3b like is the first component in the alternate channel cascade, it will create an amplification loop, and form an alternative C5 convertase.

Lecithin pathway: Activated by mannose, fucose (carbohydrate of microorganisms)The first component is the complex MBL / MASP1 / MASP2: "mannose-binding protein": works according to the same principle as the complex C1 of the classical way (MASP2 cleaves the C4 and the rest of the cascade is equivalent to that of the classical way).

the three ways have the same outcome: A C5 convertase (formed by one of the pathways) cleaves C5 into C5a and C5b: C5b is deposited far from other fractions on the antigenic surface. The fixation of C5b in the cell is followed by that of C6, C7, C8, and C9 (9 molecules of C9): formation of the membrane attack complex (MAC) ==> Death of the cell by osmotic shock

What kind of math is used to solve one time pad?
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer: i know it not the answer

Explanation:

What is one time pad?

The one-time pad (OTP) is a theoretically unbreakable cipher. However, in practice it is of limited usability because it requires a pre-shared key of at least the same length as the message. This tool helps you encode or decode one-time pads if you have the key.

About Math Pad. MathPad is a tool for students to work on addition, subtraction, multiplication or division problems on a computer. MathPad is a word processor for math, not a tutorial or calculator. The student provides answers to math problems and the final answers can be checked in the Problem List mode for accuracy.

The image below represents two waves X and Y, traveling to the same medium at the same speed how are the two waves different?
lyudmila [28]

Answer: D is right

Explanation:   It seems both waves have same wavelength.

Because speed = wavelength · frequency  (v = λf)  and

f = v/λ, so frequency is same.  Because period T = 1/ frequency, also periods are same.  Wave Y has higher amplidude and its energy is greater.

Suppose that the mice with unlimited access to water produced more urine than the mice given no access to water. how would that
kupik [55]

<span>The ratio of both groups would stay the same. Reason being the ratio in urine osmolality is divided by blood osmolality. The mice with no access to water the ratio of urine osmolality to blood osmolality are 14:7 while for mice with unlimited access to water the ratio of urine osmolality to blood osmolality is 1:4. In conclusion, the mice with no access to water produce highly concentrated urine.</span>
