In the lab you have two groups of mice. You transfected group 1 with a gene that makes them produce more IL2. The other group 2 you did not transfect. Then you inoculated both groups with tumor cells. You noticed an enhanced immunity in group 1. This enhanced immunity can be explained by proliferation of which of the following cell type?

A- Neutrophils
B- Macrophages
C- T lymphocytes
D- Dendritic cells
E- Mast cells

My vote is for C since IL-2 receptors are on lymphocytes.. What do you guys think?

 

[rasheed]

Yes I agree with you, the correct answer is T lymphocytes

 

[khanar]

Nice question

 

[doctorsmonsters]

T lymphocytes! IL2 is a TH1 promoter. And immunity against tumors is cytotoxic.

C) T lymphocytes

The correct ans is C) T lymphocytes

Its a straight forward qn. Let me show you the entire immunological t-cell activation and proliferation pathway.
