Both Mepolizumab and reslizumab bind to interleukin-5 (IL-5), a key cytokine responsible for the differentiation, maturation, and activation of human eosinophils. Both antibodies bind to IL-5 and prevents binding to the interleukin 5 receptor alpha subunit, on the surface of eosinophil white blood cells. When these antibodies bind to IL-5, they stimulates B cell growth and increases immunoglobulin secretion, and this reduces the survival of eosinophils. Eosinophils, along with basophils and mast cells, are important mediators of allergic responses and severe asthmas.

Interleukin-5 (IL-5). IL-5 is responsible for the recruitment and maturation of eosinophil. Eosinophils on the other hand are majorly involved in the inflammatory response in asthma- characterised by narrowing of the airways. Mepolizumab and reslizumab are, therefore, anti-IL-5

Describe how one could experimentally determine whether a bacterium

Kamila [148]

Answer:

How can you determine experimentally whether a bacterium is a psychrophile or a mesophile? incubate two cultures, one around 10°C and the other around 35°C. If it grows in the lower temperature incubator, it is a psychrophile. If it grows in the higher temperature incubator, it is a mesophile.

Hemophilia is a hereditary bleeding disorder that primarily affects males. Why does this condition typically affect males more t

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

Hemophilia typically affects more males than females because the disorder is X-linked and recessive.

Females have two X chromosomes (XX) while males only have one X and one Y chromosome (XY). The two X chromosomes in females are capable of carrying alleles while the Y chromosome in males is hypothesized not able to carry alleles.

Consequently, the two X chromosomes in females will both need to carry the recessive allele of hemophilia in order for any female to be affected for hemophilia while the males only need their single X chromosome to carry the recessive allele in order to be affected.

In order words, the presence of a single recessive allele is not enough for a female to be affected while it is more than enough for a male to be affected. Hence, more males are affected b hemophilia disorder than females.
