Immunology questions

Members do not see this ad.

Your body's first respond to an infection is releasing:
1, cytokine
2, interleukin
3, interferon
4, B cell
5, T-cell
My friend told me she saw a question kinda like this, but she has no idea. What do you guys think?

My answer would be all of the above, but it was not among the choice :{

I dont know about those answer choices, but the body's first response to an infection would be the inflammatory response, which releases histamine. its definetely not cytokine, interleukin, or interferons. out of these choices, i would prolly choose bcells or t cells, but i bet you histamine was one of the choices and that would be the correct answer. its when the blood increases at the site of damage and you get a fever.

My guess would be cytokines, as many molecules classify as cytokines, and theyre produced by many things. theyre non-specific, and get the job done early heh.

 

[Harley comic]

interferon and interleukin are different kinds of cytokine. They were release in respond to the present of bacteria. It trigger the innate immune respond. which will induce a inflamation, fever, redness

 

[DonExodus]

T cells then, since they deal with MHCs?

The answer will be 3- Interferon.
-After an infection, the cell synthesizes Interferon which is release into the EC fluid to affect surrounding cells.
-It binds to surface recpetors of uninfected cells and triggers these cells to synthesize enzymes to prevent amplification of the virus.
-All this happens before the immune response even goes into effect.

Hope this helps. 🙂

I thought interferons are released so that bacteria will bind start to stick to each other and not be able to reproduce as fast. Can someone clarify this please.

 

[smnop]

i think it's t-cells because aren't the helper t cells the cells that release interleukin to activate b and more t cells??

 

[RozhonDDS]

The right answer is 3, the question is written wrong, I actually encountered a similar question on my DAT. It was something like, what protein does the body release which inhibits the multiplication viruses.

 

[smnop]

well if the question is written incorrectly any one of those answer choices could prolly b right?!?

agh okay. Than it is def. interferon.

 

[Maxtor]

This is very tricky question since interleukin and interferon are actually cytokine. I thought the answer should be histamine but histamine is not in the answer choice.
So I am really confused.

I would have thought histamine too...ok so what's the main difference between interferon and interleukin?

interleukins are cytokines that act as mediators between leukocytes (hence the name (inter- & -leukin). there is a crapload of them and they all do different things for the immune system.

interferons are released in response to viral infections and tumors because they induce antiviral and antiproliferative (for tumors) activity.

Make sense?

Interferons are released when in contact with a virus- so if the question is specifically for viruses, then i would say interferon. interleukin is a cytokine that the T helper cell releases when stimulated. interleukin basically tells more t cells to come and more bcells to remember....hope that helps a little
