Question

Ásvør, a 21-year-old lion tamer, stepped on a piece of glass, which partially cut through the long plantar ligament of her right foot on April 1, 2015. But luckily, her well-functioning nonimmunocompromised immune system was able to eliminate all of her wound-contaminating bacteria – the last one of them being killed on April 21, 2015. Which of the 8 below-named entities were likely to participate in this bacteria-elimination process? Assess the following statements (1-8) as either factually correct (= “true”) or incorrect (= “false”) based on whether they describe an entity which was likely to participate in the bacteria-elimination process in the given scenario (= “true”), or unlikely to participate in the bacteria-elimination process in the given scenario (= “false”)]:

1. Neurons

2. Hepatocytes

3. Thyroid gland cells

4. Normal Skin Flora

5. Normal Gut Flora

6. Artemis Nuclease

7. Decay-accelerating factor (DAF)

8. Membrane cofactor of proteolysis (MCP)

Explanation / Answer

1. Neurons: False

Neurons does not participate in the bacteria elimination process

2. Hepatocytes: True

In hepatocytes macrophages involved in bacteria elimination process

3. Thyroid gland cells:True

Thyroid gland cells having Th (thymus helper cells) which eliminate bacteria

4. Normal skin Flora : True

Skin flora contains oil which inhibits bacterial growth

5. Normal Gut Flora: True

MALT and GALT both are involved in bacterial elimination process

6. Artemis Nuclease: False

Artemis Nuclease play role in recombinations

7. Decay accelerating factor (DAF) : True

DAF it is also called CD 55 , it is complemention protein involved in bacteria lysis

8. Membrane cofactor of proteolysis (MCP) True

MCP it is also called CD46, it involved bacterial membrane lysis
