Peripheral tolerance mechanisms function on T cells after they mature and exit the ________.

Biology
1 answer:
kondaur [170]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The given blank can be filled with thymus.

Explanation:

The secondary branch of immunological tolerance known as the peripheral tolerance occurs in the immune periphery, that is, post the maturation and exit of the B and the T cells from the primary lymphoid organs like thymus. The main objective of the mechanism is to make sure that the self-destructive B and T cells that managed to pass through central tolerance do not result in autoimmune disease.

Suppose that a single protein is significantly overexpressed in one of two different cell lines. The proteins are identical, but
mart [117]

Explanation:

Many mRNAs have sequences of 50 - 150 nt rich in A and U in the 3' untranslated region. These sequences, called AU-rich elements, are important to regulate mRNA stability, because they bind proteins that target the mRNA for degradation.

When a protein binds to the AU-rich element of the mRNA, the polyA tail can be shortened and/or the 5'cap is removed, promoting mRNA degradation. In addition, the AU-rich elements in some mRNAs have been shown to inhibit protein translation.

The mRNA of the overexpressing cell line is about 200nt shorter than the normal cell line; this could mean that it has a deletion in the 3'UTR comprising an AU-rich element. If this is missing, the mRNA will have an extended half-life (because it won't be targeted for degradation) or it will be translated more. As a result, the protein expression will be increased.

How does water's rate of use and renewal limit its availability?
Flura [38]
Water is a limited resource, despite it being very useful. We still use it very often because there is a bountiful amount of it, but it is not abundant, obviously we have enough to last you and I, but we will eventually run out. If anything, it'll become rarer and increase in price, but I have a feeling we will either find water somewhere else, or die out before then.

What best explains the relationship between structure and function of the cell membrane?
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

The right option is; -the single layer membrane surrounding the outside of the cell allows for the easy removal of waste

The cell membrane is a biological membrane that surrounds a cell and separates the contents of the cell from its external environment. The cell membrane is composed of lipids and proteins and its main function is to protect the cell from its surroundings. The cell membrane also controls the molecules that enter and leave cell.
