Expert Solution

Question 36 : Myasthenia gravis

Myasthenia gravis is the autoimmune disease of the neuromuscular junction which is caused by the Antibody mediated destruction(alter,block or destroy) of the acetylcholine receptor at its postsynaptic membrane.This causes error in the neuromuscular transmission and prevent the muscle from contracting leading to the weakness of the skeletal muscle .

Question 37 : celiac

Celiac disease is a autoimmune disease and it is a immune reaction in response to gluten consumption.Gluten is a type of protein found in wheat and barley. Celiac disease can be identified by detecting tissue transglutaminase IgA antibodies (tTG), endomysial antibodies(EMA) and deamidated gliadin peptide (DGP)antibodies .

Question 38:given thyroid hormone replacement therapy.

Hashimoto's disease should be treated with thyroid hormone replacement therapy. Oral dose of levothyroxine sodium is the only drug of choice for lifelong .

Question 39: autoantibodies targeting the adrenal cortex IgA against tissue transglutaminase.

Tissue transglutaminase is an enzyme that fixes damages in the body . Individuals with celiac disease have antibodies produced by the body against this enzyme .The presence of this autoantibodies help in the diagnosis of celiac disease.

Question 40: glutamic acid decarboxylase-65 (GAD-65), insulin associated antigen, and insulin

Type I insulin dependent diabetes have islet cell autoantibodies(ICA) , antibodies to glutamic acid decarboxylase 65( GAD-65) , insulin autoantibodies(IAA) , islet tyrosine phosphatase 2 (IA-2A)

and these attack different parts of pancreas affecting it's normal function.

An antibody can bind to a coronavirus receptor with a koffand kon rate of 10-5s-1and 104M-1s-1, respectively. If there are 10 µM total receptors and 50 µM free antibody, what concentration of coronavirus receptors are bound with antibody? What percent of receptors are bound? The coronavirus mutated its receptor which changes the dissociation rate koff to 1 s-1for the antibody. How does this change the percent of receptors bounds? How long does the antibody stay bound to the wildtype receptors...
