In addition to phagocytosis, NETosis is another mechanism by which pathogens are eliminated. A patient is taking a medicine for some other disease conditions. However, one of the side effects of this drug results in defective NETosis. What is a possible mechanism that can contribute to the defective NETosis? a. The drug blocks reactive oxygen species generation b. The drug inhibits leukocyte activation c. The drug inhibits leukocyte migration d. The drug inhibits leukocyte adhesion

All but one of the following occur during the inflammatory response. Select the example below that does not describe the process of inflammation A) Increases capillary permeability B) Release of prostaglandins resulting in pain: C) Chemotaxis draws leukocytes to the site of injury: D) Vasoconstriction will prevent excessive blood loss due to injury: 27) Membrane attack complex (MAC) kills bacteria by A) allowing the organelles to spill free from the bacterial cells B) penetrating the capsule of the bacteria and entering the bacterial cytosol, providing passage for antibodies to enter the bacteria plasma membrane C) disrupting the selectively permeability of the bacterial cytoplasmic membrane D) preventing the replication of viral cells 28) Interferons produced against one specific virus A) are effective against another virus, such as the common cold B) are routinely used in nasal sprays to increase the rate of cell division C) act by increasing replication within cells to interfere with viral replication
