Answer: humoral immune response
The main antibody isotypes in the influenza-specific humoral immune response are IgA, IgM and IgG. Mucosal or secretory IgA antibodies are produced locally and transported along the mucus of the respiratory tract by transepithelial transport and can afford local protection from infection of airway epithelial cells.
Answer:
Explanation:
Cell specialization is also called cell differentiation. Through this process, specialized cells form from the unspecialized cells. Then many cells are formed and determined to form specialized functions.
The stem cells are the unspecialized cells which form a different kind of specialized cells.
The muscle cells, nerve cells, sperm cells, red blood cells are specialized cells perform different specialized functions. All these cells arise from stem cells. The nerve cells receive impulse, muscle cells can contract, etc.
There are certain inductive signaling genes that send the signal to the differentiated cells. These signaling molecules are called ligands. These ligands move to another cell to produce specialized cells. In other words, there are some transcription factors and genes responsible for such cell differentiation and the formation of specialized cells.
Another example is zygote, which is an unspecialized cell. This is also a totipotent cell that has the potentiality to reproduce different cells.
Answer:
A mutation in Ras protein which will cause hyperactivity will eventually lead to cancer.
Explanation:
Ras protein was first discovered in Rous sarcoma virus (RSV) and it is a proto-oncogene product. In normal conditions, it plays an important role in cellular signalling but in case of gain of function/hyperactivity it gets converted into cellular oncogene. In several types of cancers a point mutation has been reported in Ras protein.
Just like G protein, it is also a GTPase switch protein but unlike G protein which is trimeric, it is monomeric. In the plasma membrane, it is attached with the help of lipids like prenyl or palmitoyl groups. During signal transduction pathway when it gets activated, it downstream activates MAPK pathway and causes gene expression but when it gets hyperactivated it causes over expression of genes leading to cancer.
