CENTRAL DOGMA

-

 

·         The central dogma represents the flow of genetic information from DNA to RNA to protein. It is elucidate as a process in which the information in DNA is converted into a functional product.

·         The information present in the DNA is crucial to built all the protein. RNA will act as messanger which will carry the information by the way of ribosome.

·         The ribosome serve as factories in the cell where the information is translate from a code into the functional product.

·         The process by which the DNA instructions are converted into the functional product is called gene expression.

·         Gene expression has two stages one is transcription and other one is translation

·         In the process of transcription all the information present in DNA of every cell is converted into small portable RNA message

·         During translation mRNA make the specific protein

·         Following pattern of the information that occurs most frequently in all the cells

Staphylokinase (Sak) and Streptokinase (SK)

-
Staphylokinase (Sak)  and  Streptokinase (SK)  are fascinating enzymes with a dual identity—used both in medicine and by bacteria as virulence factors. Medically, streptokinase (produced by  Streptococcus pyogenes ) has long been used as a clot-dissolving drug in conditions like heart attacks, deep vein thrombosis, and pulmonary embolism. It is cost-effective but has notable drawbacks, including a high risk of systemic bleeding due to its non-specific action and the potential to trigger immune reactions, especially upon repeated use. In contrast, staphylokinase (from  Staphylococcus aureus ) is still under clinical investigation but shows promise as a more clot-specific alternative, acting mainly at the site of clots and posing a lower bleeding risk. However, its clinical application is limited so far due to slower activation and ongoing trials. From a pathogenic standpoint, both enzymes help bac...

Activation of Yellow marrow into Red marrow

-
 When the body senses a shortage of blood cells , it sends signals to reactivate the yellow bone marrow. 1. Detection of Blood Cell Shortage In conditions like anemia , injury , or infection , there are not enough red blood cells (RBCs) or other blood cells. The body detects low oxygen levels or low cell counts in the blood.  2. Signal Release The kidneys release a hormone called erythropoietin (EPO) . Cytokines (immune signaling proteins) are also released. These signals reach the bone marrow through the blood.  3. Stem Cell Activation in Yellow Marrow The yellow marrow contains mesenchymal stem cells (fat-storing stem cells). Under normal conditions, these produce fat. But in response to signals (like EPO and cytokines), they start converting into hematopoietic cells (blood-producing cells). 4. Fat Cells Decrease Fat cells in yellow marrow shrink or die off . More space opens up for blood-forming cells to grow. 5. Re...

Complement system

-
  Complement system is significant part of innate immune system.it contains 30 proteins in blood plasma and on the surface of the cell which will activate as a chain reaction (one will activate the next) Following are the major functions of complement system. Opsonization- label the microbes so that the phagocytic cells will get activated Chemotaxis-Attract the immune cells to the infected site Cell lysis- Forms a membrane attack complex (MAC) that can directly kill bacteria Clearance of Immune complexes- Helps to remove  antibody antigen complex from the body Pathways 1. Classical pathway classical pathway will be triggered by the antibodies and it comes under the part of adaptive immunity. Example If a person got infected with the measles virus . The body will start produced IgG antibodies against the virus. These antibodies bind to the virus. The classical pathway is activated to destroy the virus . classical pathway needs antibodies to induce the immune response . 2. Lect...
