question archive Question 1 Please could you explain how lymphocytes (especially B) can maintain receptors on their surfaces? Is this genetically related? If so, when the lymphocytes are first exposed to the antigens, how could the antigen receptor be synthesized?

Question 1
Please could you explain how lymphocytes (especially B) can maintain
receptors on their surfaces? Is this genetically related? If so, when the
lymphocytes are first exposed to the antigens, how could the antigen
receptor be synthesized?
Is there a mutation within the nuclei of these lymphocytes when they
learn to make the receptors? If there is, can you explain how this occurs?
Question 2
I understand how nuclear factor-κB (NFκB) works in the inflammatory
response but what is the mechanism by which it causes cancer?
Question 3
What are the diseases associated with hypocomplementaemia and which
complement deficiency in particular?
Question 4
What is meant by 'B lymphocytes are sensitive to clonal deletion'?
Question 5
What are the immunological implications of 'bare lymphocyte
syndrome'/MHC deficiency?
Question 6
Please explain oligoclonal and monoclonal.
Question 7
I was wondering if there is any study regarding cell culture techniques of
CD4 helper cells (stem cell culturing) and, if so, is it of any benefit to
HIV-infected patients
Question 8
How do you define autoimmune disease?
Question 9
1. Why is dexamethasone not routinely used instead of prednisolone,
which is almost universally used routinely in autoimmune diseases, or
other indications for steroids? Is it because dexamethasone lacks the
mineralocorticoid activity seen with prednisolone and therefore does
not cause salt/water retention and hypertension?
2. Can high doses of dexamethasone be used in acute relapses of
multiple sclerosis (MS) in place of pulse methylprednisolone? If so,
what is the recommended dosage?
Question 10
What is meant by 'pus cell' and is this term synonymous with
neutrophils?
