Quiz zum Vortrag
How does the SARS-CoV-2 virus enter the host cell via membrane fusion?
- Proteolytic cleavage of the viral S protein permits fusion of the virus to the host cell membrane, leading to internalization of the virus.
- Viral proteases cleave the ACE-2 receptor, leading to the internalization of the virus into the host cell.
- Phages attach to receptors on the host cell and insert the viral genome.
- The viral genome is injected into the host cell after binding to the surface M protein.
- The viral envelope protein binds to the ACE-2 receptor and proteolytic cleavage leads to internalization of the virus.
What type of cells most abundantly express ACE-2 receptors in the body?
- Type II pneumocytes
- Skin epithelial cells
- Nasal mucosal epithelium
- Vascular endothelium
- GI tract cells
After the SARS-CoV-2 virus binds to the cell and is internalized, what is the host immune response to infection?
- Cytokine release of interleukins, interferons, and tumor necrosis factors
- Release of angiotensin-converting enzyme
- Activation of renin-angiotensin system
- Production of antibodies by T cells
- Production of memory cells to the antigen-presenting cell by T helper cells
After infection with SARS-CoV-2, what happens in response to the cytokine storm?
- Leakage of fluid into the alveolus disrupts gas exchange, causing respiratory symptoms.
- Blood pressure drops in response to ACE inhibition.
- Blood pressure drops in response to activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system.
- Cytokines cause improved gas exchange in the alveolus in response to respiratory distress.
- Cytokines stimulate the recruitment of immune cells to the respiratory system to help fight the infection.
