T-independent response

Type 1 T-independent (TI-1) antigens bind to B cells through both Ig and innate immune receptors. LPS from Gram negative organisms binds to B cells via both mIg and TLR, resulting in signaling from both receptors.

The surfaces of the cells that form the alveoli (small air spaces of the lung) are coated with surfactant, which decreases the alveolar surface tension. 

Lung surfactant contains 80 to 90% phospholipid by weight, and 70 to 80% of the phospholipid is phosphatidylcholine, mostly the dipalmitoyl species.

A recessive allele (a) that causes a genetic disease has a frequency (q) of 0.01. If the population mates randomly (F = 0), the frequency of individuals affected by the disease (aa) will be q = 0.01 = 0.0001.

However, if F = 0.25 expected frequency of the aa is .0026.
