Anthony Hoffnagle was well until after 6 months of age when he was hospitalized for pneumonia 5 times in the same year. A consul

tation with an immunologist revealed normal numbers of B cells and T cells, slightly elevated IgM, and a marked decrease in IgG and IgA. He was diagnosed with X-linked hyper IgM syndrome. Based upon the information in the previous questions, what is the most important gene that might be defective that would result in lack of class switch to IgG or IgA

Answer:

CD40L  

Explanation:

The CD40 ligand (CD40L) protein is a transmembrane glycoprotein which is expressed on activated T cells and belongs to the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) superfamily. The hyper IgM syndrome is caused by mutations in the CD40L gene, where the defective protein can no longer bind CD40 on antigen-presenting cells. The X-linked Hyper IgM syndrome is characterized by abnormal levels of immunoglobulins, i.e., low levels of IgG and IgA, and increased/normal levels of IgM. Because CD40L gene is located on the X chromosome, this disorder is observed much more frequently in males than in females.

Which of the following explains why nonrenewable energy resources are still so widely used. Select multiple
egoroff_w [7]
Non renewable resources can be very expensive, especially in capital outlay. For example, wind energy is very expensive to get started. The batteries alone are a headache. What do you do with those batteries whose life is over? How do you dispose of them? It isn't an easy problem to solve.

Then there's the labor part of wind energy. If they are manufactured in Denver Co and they receive an order from Maine, the blades require a wooden plywood box to be made. Plywood is roughly 20$ a 1/2 sheet (in Canada) to say nothing of the carpenter needed to make the box. I'm told that it takes a good day and one half just to make that box alone. That's for 1 blade. Then there's the shipping cost for 3 blades. Then there's the cost of making the blades which require highly skilled workers. 

Then there's the problem of wind, (or lack thereof). the problems just keep on going up and the expenses with them.

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

Used the C1V1 = C2V2 method for calculations

Explanation:

Component      Calculation       Volume of Stock to be added

FBS:             100*V1 = 10*25                  2.5 mL

Glutamine:     200*V1 = 2*25                  0.25 mL

Penicillin:      10000V1 = 100*25          0.25 mL

Streptomycin:     10000V1 = 100*25            0.25 mL

NB: C1 = Stock Concentration; V1 = Volume of stock required; C2 = Final concentration required; V2 = Final volume required
