30
Q

CD8

A

cytotoxic T cells

31
Q

CD4

A

helper T cells

32
Q

IL-17

A
  • promotes neutrophils

- produced by Th17 cells

33
Q

IFN-gamma

A
  • stimulates macrophages
  • increases MHC class I and II expression
  • promotes Th1 and inhibits Th2
34
Q

which is more severe: T. b. rhodiense (East African) or T. b. gambiense (West African?

A

gambiense => meningencephalitis

rhodiense => fever, headache, lymphadenopathy

35
Q

IL-10

A

anti-inflammatory

36
Q

HHV-8 tx

A

in vitro susceptibility to GCV, foscarnet, and cidofovir but none are effective

37
Q

CD3

A

T cells

38
Q

IL-2

A

promotes T cells growth and activation; autocrine function

39
Q

IL-5

A
  • differentiation/activation of eosinophils

- IgA class switching

40
Q

RSV dx

A

antigen detection, RT-PCR

41

Q

schistosoma life cycle (basic)

A

cercarieae in fresh water penetrate skin => travel upstream through portal circulation in liver => adults migrate to bowel/bladder to lay eggs => excretion of eggs into water through feces/urine => eggs hatch and penetrate snails where they develop into cercariae again
