Where stem cells transform to T cells

Biology
2 answers:
Natali5045456 [20]3 years ago
6 0

Explanation:

T cell progenitors originate in the bone marrow and, through a series of defined and coordinated developmental stages, enter the thymus, differentiate, undergo selection, and eventually mature into functional T cells.

Answer:

Scientists from the UCLA AIDS Institute and the Institute for Stem Cell Biology and Medicine have derived T-cells from human embryonic stem cells, raising hopes for a gene therapy to combat AIDS. The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences reported the findings in its July 14, 2006, online edition.

“We may be able to use human embryonic stem cells to treat T-cell and other blood diseases,” says lead author Zoran Galic, assistant research biologist. “This could be a very important weapon in the fight against AIDS.”

The researchers cultured human embryonic stem cells and incubated them on mouse bone-marrow cells, which in turn converted them into blood-forming cells. Those cells were injected into a human thymus that had been implanted in a mouse. The thymus transformed the bloodforming cells into the T-cells that HIV targets for destruction.

“Our results indicate that it’s possible to decipher the signals that control embryonic stem cells’ development into mature T-cells,” says Jerome Zack, associate director of the UCLA AIDS Institute and professor of microbiology, immunology and molecular genetics. “This way we can eventually repopulate the immune system of patients needing T-cells.”

One of the body’s main defenses against disease, Tcells are manufactured in the thymus. The organ shrinks as we age, weakening the immune system. The scientists anticipate that their findings could give rise to gene-therapy approaches for other diseases related to T-cells such as severe combined immunodeficiency, or “bubble-boy disease.”

Answer:

those organisms that decompose the living organisms after death and change them into simpler substances are called decomposers. For example fungi, bacteria,etc. difference between herbivores and carnivore are

the animals that eat green plants are called herbivores but the animals that eat flesh of other animals are called carnivores.

examples of herbivores are cow,goat,etc but examples of carnivores are lion, tigers,etc.

MissTica
The correct answer is "plasma cells". 

Plasma cells are differentiated or mature B cells capable of producing antibodies against a particular foreign substance. B cells are stimulated to differentiate into plasma cells when it binds to two receptors of helper T cell; having the T cells "help" the B cells to differentiate to plasma cells. These T cells have the antigenic information passed to them by antigen presenting cells such as dendritic cells and these will be passed to the B cells and plasma cells will produce antibodies against this specific antigen.
