PRR localization dictates antiviral signaling outputs Innate sensors for viral infection include endosomal nucleic-acid–sensing TLRs and cytosolic RNA sensors (e.g., RIG-I/MDA5), which can drive distinct transcription factor programs (e.g., IRFs vs NFκB/AP-1) and type I interferon responses. A. (4 points) Choose one PRR pathway relevant to viral sensing. For that one PRR pathway, briefly describe: where it is located (cellular compartment), the type of ligand it detects, and the dominant downstream response you’d want to amplify. B. (6 points) Propose a strategy to enhance protective antiviral immunity by selectively engaging your chosen pathway while minimizing immunopathology. Design an experiment (unlimited resources) with: how you will deliver/activate the pathway (timing + tissue targeting), endpoints for efficacy, and endpoints for safety (e.g., systemic shock-like physiology).

Compare and contrast immunoglobulin vs. T cell receptor expression by indicating in each space below whether or not the event is reversible, and whether or not it occurs in B cells and/or T cells. Select “yes” or “no” in each space of the table below. (0.5 point each) Event Is this event reversible? Does this event occur in B cells? Does this event occur in T cells? A. Co-expression of some receptor isotypes on cell surface [A1] [A2] [A3] B. Switch recombination [B1] [B2] [B3] C. Membrane vs. secreted form of antigen receptor [C1] [C2] [C3] D. V-region assembly [D1] [D2] [D3]

This is an extension of the previous question about immunoglobulin vs. T cell receptor expression. A. Please name the receptor isotypes referred to in Part A that may be co-expressed on the cell surface. (2 points) B. Briefly describe the molecular mechanism by which receptor isotypes may be co-expressed on the cell surface. (4 points)
