You have joined a research lab that is testing new vaccines for a new strain of the influenza A virus (IAV). The lab's prior studies have shown that when C57BL/6 laboratory mice are given non-pathogenic bacteria that have been engineered to express a 16 amino acid peptide, after about a month the mice produce IgG antibodies that effectively neutralize IAV. Your project is to test serum samples from healthy adult humans who were given these bacteria 6 weeks ago as part of a pilot clinical trial. You find that you can clearly detect IgG antibodies against IAV from about a third of the samples, but cannot detect IAV-specific antibodies from the remainder of the samples. Which of the following is the most likely characteristic shared by individuals who produced a detectable antibody response?
Group of answer choices
They have a genetic polymorphism that causes their T cells to produce comparatively high amounts of IL-2
They express MHC class II allotypes that bind efficiently to the 16 amino acid peptide expressed by the bacteria
They are people who also have pollen allergies
They express a self protein that contains an amino acid sequence identical to the 16 amino acid peptide expressed by the bacteria
They all have genetic polymorphisms in genes for complement proteins that result in inefficient clearance of bacteria by the membrane attack complex (MAC)

Your company is deciding whether to invest in a new machine. The new machine will increase cash flow by $329,000 per year. You believe the technology used in the machine has a 10-year life; in other words, no matter when you purchase the machine, it will be obsolete 10 years from today. The machine is currently priced at $1,700,000. The cost of the machine will decline by $100,000 per year until it reaches $1,200,000, where it will remain. |
