Stem cells
This type of cell is able to become every cell within the body AND placental or extraembryonic cells.
What are totipotent stem cells?
This branch of your immune system is considered your “first responder” to possible pathogens
What is the Innate Immune System?
This testing method is considered the most trustworthy for detecting a SARS-CoV-2 infection
What is qPCR?
These types of ion channels are located in the axon terminal and when activated, they trigger the release of neurotransmitters
What are voltage-gated Calcium channels?
The newest parking structure at CPP
What is parking structure 2?
The defining feature of stem cell division
What is self-renewal?
When activated, these types of immune cells extrude their own DNA to trap pathogens.
What are neutrophils?
The acronym “SARS” stands for this phrase
Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome?
Addition of acetyl groups to histone tails by this enzyme causes chromatin to relax/deconsense
What is Histone Acetyltransferase (HAT)?
CLA building stands for
What is classrooms, library, and administration building?
These types of cells have been re-programmed to regain their stemness
What are iPSCs (induced pluripotent stem cells)?
This type of cell makes and secretes antibodies.
What are B cells?
The receptor for SARS-CoV-2
ACE/TMPRESS2
Loss of function of this RTK typically leads to decreased metabolism, increased hunger, and obesity.
What is the Leptin Receptor? What is leptin ligand?
BRIC stands for
what is Bronco Recreation and Intramural Complex?
Hematopoietic stem cells and intestinal crypt cells are examples of these types of stem cells.
What are tissue-specific progenitor (or precursor) cells
This pathogen steals actin from its host cell to increase its motility and spread from one cell to another.
What is listeria monocytogenes?
This virally-derived enzyme is required for qPCR based testing for infection with RNA viruses
What is reverse transcriptase?
These two proteins dimerize & bind to the E box to upregulate expression of Per and Cry.
What are Bmal1 and Clock?
The number of Presidents that have served at CPP
What is six?
These are the 3 essential transcription factors for reprogramming terminally differentiated cells
What are Oct4, Klf4, and Sox2?
These proteins expressed on the surface of neutrophils and macrophages bind to the constant region of IgG
What are Fc receptors?
Antibody based diagnostic kits (e.g. rapid tests) are best on what principle from chemistry?
What is lateral flow chromatography?
This is the only positively charged amino acid whose functional group contains a ring structure
What is Histidine?
The academic year in which Prof. Steele was hired
What is 2013-2014?
