CCR5 that plays a role in inflammatory response. Unfortunately, this protein is also a key to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. The virus binds to a loop of the CCR5 protein and then enters the cell. Some people have an allele called Δ32 at the CCR5 locus in which 32 bp are deleted. The missing part of the gene codes for the loop in the protein to which the virus attaches. Which statements is true for CCR5?

#Unit 11. Evolution and Behavior
  1. both homozygous and heterozygous partly resistant to HIV
  2. People who are homozygous for the deletion are partly resistant to HIV, while highly heterozygotes are resistant.
  3. People who are homozygous for the deletion are highly resistant to HIV, while heterozygotes are partly resistant.
  4. both homozygous and heterozygous highly resistant to HIV

If a given lymphocyte divides to form two daughter cells, both daughters bear antigen receptors with antigen specificities identical to each other and to the parental cell from which they arose, and so will any descendants they produce. The resulting population of lymphocytes, all arising from the same founding lymphocyte, is a clone. Which interleukin is responsible for clone production?

  _______are motile phagocytic cells they play their most important role in the defense against multicellular parasitic organisms, including worms. They can be found clustering around invading worms, whose membranes are damaged by the activity of proteins released from its granules. it may also secrete cytokines that regulate B and T lymphocytes, thereby influencing the adaptive immune response.

undifferentiated hematopoietic stem cells would not express surface markers specific for mature cells from the multiple blood lineages (“Lin” markers). They used several approaches to eliminate cells in the bone marrow that did express these markers (Lin+ cells) and then examined the remaining (Lin+) population for its potential to continually give rise to all blood cells over the long term. Lin- cells were, indeed, enriched for this potential. what marker is   express If cells inter in lymphoid lineages?
