Hey guys, I've heard that one of the higher yield things you could learn for immuno on the COMLEX are the cytokines involved in cancer. Does anyone know where I can read about this? Looked in FA but didn't really see anything in the Immuno section regarding this subject.

Thanks

I'd say these are low yield bud. Your better off cramming something else in.

I had ~5 questions on TNF-alpha with 2-3 of them about cachexia and cancer.

I answered TNF-alpha so many times I started to question myself.

Is it common for COMLEX to test on certain subjects more than others? 5 questions on TNF to fulfill the cytokine section seems lopsided. I noticed this too on COMSAE's with certain topics getting 5 questions and others getting 0. weird that they wouldnt spread it out more.

How do I palate a cytokine?

Really though, I'll brush up on the TNF I suppose...

COMLEX seems to like TNF.

Speaking of TNF. My PI said that TNF-alpha is an outdated term since TNF-beta is now coined lymphotoxin-alpha.

So:
A) TNF-alpha
B) TNF-Beta coined lymphotoxin-alpha
C) Wrong answer
D) Wrong answer
E) That's a paddin'

Do we pick A or B?
