A young adult male with a normal immune system was recently vaccinated against COVID-19. Which of the following would be an accurate description of his antibody response if he becomes infected with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, about 3 weeks later? A His antibody response would have a shorter time to peak response and a greater peak plasma antibody concentration B His antibody response would take a longer time to reach peak antibody concentration in the plasma C His antibody response would have a longer duration and a reduced peak plasma antibody concentration

This means their immune system has already been exposed to the virus and has developed antibodies. Show more…

Dr. Smith is working on a vaccine against Zika virus. She injects a group of volunteers with the newly designed vaccine. Two months later, one of the volunteers is exposed to Zika, so the volunteer's immune system encountered the virus. How did the response of the volunteer's T and B cells after encountering Zika virus compare to the response of the volunteer's T and B cells after the vaccine? The volunteer's immune cells did not respond to the vaccine, so her encounter with the virus was the first time her T and B cells responded to Zika. The volunteer's T and B cells became activated more quickly, and her B cells made smaller amounts of better quality antibodies. The volunteer's T and B cells became activated more quickly, and her B cells made larger amounts of better quality antibodies. The volunteer's T and B cells responded exactly the same way both times.

1. A patient presents to their local primary care clinic with 1-day old influenza infection. This is their first time experiencing the flu. Their blood is drawn and analyzed for antibodies. Four months after the infection, their physician draws their blood again and studies the presence of antibodies. Which of the following is most likely to be true? A. We cannot predict the changes in the amount of antibodies at the four month blood draw relative to the initial draw B. There will be more anti-influenza antibodies at the four month blood draw C. There will be an equal number of anti-influenza antibodies at the four month blood draw and the initial draw E. There will be fewer anti-influenza antibodies at the four month blood draw

Q7. This graph represents a person's level of antibodies to antigen A (exposed at day 0 and again at day 28) and antibodies to antigen B (exposed at day 28). Primary immune response to antigen A Secondary immune response to antigen A Primary immune response to antigen B 104 103 Antibody concentration (arbitrary units) Antibodies to A Antibodies to B 102 101 100 0 7 14 21 28 35 42 49 56 Exposure to antigen A Exposure to antigens A and B Time (days) Using the patterns/information presented, if you expose this individual to antigen C on day 56, what are you likely to see? Give a brief explanation of your reasoning. [1pt] a) 103 antibodies to B on day 61 b) 104 antibodies to A on day 61 c) 10 antibodies to C on day 61 d) 10 antibodies to C on day 67 e) 10 antibodies to A on day 67 Briefly explain your reasoning.
