(Ch. 27.4) Many people are allergic to substances in the environment, such as ragweed pollen, as well as foods, such as peanuts.

Which of these statements BEST describes an allergic reaction to one of these substances? (1 point) A. The substance is similar or identical to human antigens, and so it triggers an immune system response. B. The substance invades the body and causes damage to tissues, which triggers an immune system response. C. The substance does not directly harm tissues and is not a pathogen, but nevertheless triggers an inflammatory response. D. The substance invades the body and triggers a response from the respiratory system or digestive system, but not the immune system.

Answer:

C. The substance does not directly harm tissues and is not a pathogen, but nevertheless triggers an inflammatory response.

Explanation:

When a person is allergic to a substance, his or her immune system recognizes a harmless substance, such as components in food, pollen, or dust, as a treat. As a consequence, it starts an immune response that leads to inflammation. The substance that starts the allergic reaction is called an allergen, and it is not a pathogen because it is not a real threat to the body since it does not infect cells. When the allergen enters the body, it binds to antibodies that are in contact with a special type of cell. These specific cells will release a substance known as histamine. Histamine will produce an inflammatory reaction affecting different tissues in our body. For example, it can make us sneeze, have a running nose, swelling parts of our body, have itchiness and redness, amongst others.

Answer:

Explanation:

In the 21st century, biotechnology has developed rapidly, and the era of great health has arrived. Cell therapy has opened up new ideas for the treatment of refractory diseases in human beings and has broad application prospects. Cell biology, molecular biology, and modern immunology are the three leading modern biological sciences. Cell therapy utilizes the characteristics of certain cells with specific functions. After bioengineering or in vitro amplification and special culture treatment, these cells have therapeutic effects such as enhancing immunity, killing pathogens and tumor cells, and promoting tissue regeneration, so as to achieve the purpose of treating diseases. Techniques such as cell culture proliferation and differentiation are among the most commonly used methods in cell biology research. Since the basic laws of cell behavior are the same in vitro culture and in vivo, many studies can be performed in vitro. More importantly, people can selectively and purposefully control the environment in which cells grow, so they can study the biological behavior of cells under certain special conditions.

Genetic/epigenetic analysis service

Epigenetics refers to the regulation of epigenetic gene expression by epigenetic changes (DNA methylation, histone modifications, and non-coding RNAs such as miRNAs) that are independent of genetic sequence changes and can be genetically apparent. DNA methylation, histone modifications, and miRNAs are a reflection of changes in environmental stimuli that interact to regulate gene expression and control cellular phenotype. Massively parallel sequencing technology lays the foundation for the construction of epigenomics. Creative Biolabs provides key sequencing-based methods used in the analysis of epigenomes, including bisulfite sequencing, chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing, 3D chromatin capture, as well as the determination of open chromatin.

In vitro assay development service

In vitro or phenotypic assays are defined as those that model some aspect of disease biology in cells or tissues derived from an experimental species or humans, which have important clinical implications for disease progression and treatment. In vitro assays have the following benefits: obtaining direct knowledge related to the potential new disease background; multiple compounds with different modes of action can be tested, and depending on the throughput of the assay, within a certain range; it provides data support for more complex phenotypes or subsequent assessments or in vivo trials. The examples given in the various disease areas use a wide range of cell-based assay types, typically in 96-well formats, which differ markedly in their outcome when compared to, for example, biochemical or in vivo assays.

Assay Development Service

In vivo assay development service

The experimental animals themselves are studied for their breeding, biological characteristics and information, new varieties cultivation and disease diagnosis, treatment, and prevention to achieve people's purposes. Taking animals as a model, some experiments are carried out in vivo to study the reactions, manifestations and developmental rules of animals, and lay the foundation for solving complex diseases of human beings. The services of in vivo assay include assessing the phenotypic characteristics of transgenic lines, functional MRI services for awakening animals to visualize neural networks, and assessing transporter activity and building animal models, etc.

What is the difference between extrinsic and intrinsic clotting?
KengaRu [80]
They're two different clotting pathways that use different factors. Though, the intrinsic and extrinsic pathways come together at factor X and eventually result in fibrinogen (factor I)  being converted into a fibrin clot by prothrombin (factor II). 

Extrinsic begins with factor VII and intrinsic begins with factor XII

examine the diagram below, explain the path a newly formed polypeptide leaving a ribosome may take as it is modified or packaged
iren [92.7K]

After translation of the polypeptide in the ribosome, the polypeptide enters the cisternae of the rough endoplasmic reticulum. Here, the folding of the polypeptide begins with the aid of chaperons proteins. At the end of the RER, vesicles with the completely folded protein bud off and enters the Golgi apparatus where the proteins are transported to its destination.
