Using what you know about how immunity works, discuss what a hypothetical vaccine for the HIV virus might look like.

Dr. Roberts works with a team of medical professionals who treat people who are HIV+. Several of his patients have complained about the side effects of one anti-viral drug. A couple of them insisted on taking a break. When they did, their viral loads actually dropped – indicating a decrease in the amount of virus in their bodies and, theoretically, an improvement in their health and life expectancy. Dr. Roberts would like to test the anecdotal observations. He talks with...
What virus causes the flu? Why doesn't the body produce permanent immunity against that virus? How does the vaccine against the flu work?
You want to make a live virus vaccine against the COVID-19 virus by using zoonotic coronaviruses, i.e. coronaviruses that currently infect other species and therefore grow poorly in humans. i) What is the advantage of using a virus for the vaccine instead of just injecting spike protein from the COVID-19 virus ii) You obtain the DNA sequence of two coronaviruses that infect bats or foxes. The partial sequence of the spike protein from the human virus, and from these two...
Pedagogy Discuss why it will be important for you to know what you believe about early childhood and why. You will need to discuss this with your mentor this week. I know that many of you will not really have a clear "belief system" but I want you to think about what it might be and why
BRV-PV is a live virus vaccine that replicates to some extent. How might you use genetic engineering to make a safer rotavirus vaccine? Note: the virus capsid is composed of 4 different proteins.
What approach will you use to develop a vaccine against
cornavirus and why?

Given what you know about the immune response, propose a detailed explanation about how the immune system responds to COVID-19. Be sure to describe each phase (physical barriers, non-specific immunity, specific immunity). You may draw a step by step diagram labeled or your may describe the process in words Be sure to address the role of macrophages, NK cells, B cells, and T cells.
variables 19. On September 24, 2009, news reports hailed the findings from an HIV vaccine clinical trial as being the first time that a vaccine worked. These news reports often made front-page headlines in newspapers and lead stories on television newscasts (examples are available on the textbook's website). The vaccine actually was a combination of two previous tested vaccines, ALVAC-HIV and AIDSVAX B/E, that were not shown to prevent HIV infection in previous clinical trials by themselves. The purpose of...
Film : Rise of the Killer Virus After learning about how HIV began to spread among humans in this film, who or what do you think is to blame and why?
hemotherapeutic agents are lacking for many viral diseases. From what you know about the stages of virus multiplication, give an explanation of why this is so. Be sure to address each of the stages of viral replication in the discussion. Also, give an example of an FDA approved treatment for HIV (causative agent for AIDS) and describe the MOA for the treatment. Be sure to discuss the MOA at the molecular level (i.e. Don’t just say that it blocks attachment....
