| Hint | Answer | % Correct |
|---|---|---|
| How many functional TLR genes do humans have? | 10 | 100%
|
| What cytokine is a major example of this and also induces the acute phase response? | IL-6 | 100%
|
| What is another example of one, that increases vascular permeability, but if systemically released may acumulate to shock? | TNF-alpha | 100%
|
| Two downstream molecules are normally activate when TLRs are NF kappaB is one whats the other? | AP-1 | 50%
|
| Sentinel cells play a major role in sensing damage and infection, there are three key one, mast cells, macrophages and what third? | Dendritic | 50%
|
| What is the group name given to cytokines that induce fever? | Endogenous pyrogens | 50%
|
| Odd numbered TLRs are not found on the cell surface, so where are they found? | Endosomes | 50%
|
| What specific type of bacteria is this ligand found in the membrane of? | Gram negative | 50%
|
| Sometimes the cytosolic receptors link together to form a polymer, which can be used to activate caspase 1 which then activates IL-1beta, what is the name of the polymer? | Inflammasome | 50%
|
| One specific PRR is Toll Like Receptor 4, what is the specific ligand that it recognises? | LPS | 50%
|
| Finally which recognise cytosolic molecules? | NOD-like receptors | 50%
|
| They express pattern recognition receptors to recognise what molecules? | PAMPs/DAMPs | 50%
|
| And which are important in viral infections? | RIG-I-Like receptors | 50%
|
| NOD2 is a type of PRR what disease is associated with mutations in it? | Crohn's | 0%
