Unit 10: Blood/Immunology Case Study Lab What were your three diagnoses? Case 1: Bacterial or viral infection Case 2: Normal blood smear Case 3: Normal blood smear Journal Questions for lab In what ways do normal red and white blood cells differ? White blood cells have a nucleus‚ red blood cells do not‚ white blood cells protect while red blood cells transport‚ red blood cells have a longer life span than white blood cells. Which type of white blood cell would you

The Evolution and Mechanism of Immunological Memory and its Impact on Immunology Research. Recently‚ the Center for Disease and Control reported that it has discovered a super bug‚ a bacteria‚ that has the capability of resisting almost any antibiotic known to human. In addition to resisting antibiotics‚ these superbugs are deadly. Not only do the bugs cause death to half of the patients with serious infectious diseases‚ but they also spread their genes that make the bugs resistant to other bacteria

PCB Fall 14 Study guide Chapter 11 1) Which T-cells decline in an HIV patient? What is the significant # of those cells for a transition to AIDs? a. Massive reduction in CD4 T cells b. Less than 200 CD4 T cells per ul. c. HIV doesn’t kill patient but cell mediated immunity is compromised and patient can die from infection 2) Know gp 120 and 41 and what they do? What is the precursor polypeptide these are created from? a. One nucleocapsid protein is a protease used to cleave gp41 and gp120

of computer science‚ information and the health care field. This interdisciplinary field can be applied to a range of medical fields such as nursing‚ biomedicine‚ medicine and subspecialties such as immunology (immunoinformatics). Informatics not only has roles to play in day-to-day areas of immunology such as data storage/retrieval‚ decision support‚ standards and electronic health care records but also in research and education such as data mining and simulation systems (Coiera‚ 2002).

transition states are more thermodynamically stable than uncatalyzed reactions (Berg et al.‚ 2002; UBC Department of Microbiology and Immunology‚ 2006). Increased thermodynamic stability in these transition states reduces the energy of activation‚ the minimum amount of energy input a chemical system requires for a reaction to occur (UBC Department of Microbiology and Immunology‚ 2006). Thus‚ substrate is converted to product using less energy at amplified rates when enzymes are involved. Trypsin is a

Being a first generation college student has proven to be difficult‚ however‚ that sparked my interest in biomedical sciences. Growing up‚ my family did not have ample recourses‚ allowing me to become practical. Fortunately‚ we did have access to a T.V. and I enjoyed watching educational shows at a young age. I became extremely interested in the Mars rover and would attempt to create my own with objects around the house. As I became older‚ my love for creating and science continued to grow. I began
