Question

Considering the pathology of a cytokine storm, select possible strategies that would be likely to diminish the harmful effects of superantigen toxins. Select all of the strategies that would be likely to block or reduce the harmful effects of superantigen toxins. View Available Hint(s) Select all of the strategies that would be likely to block or reduce the harmful effects of superantigen toxins. blocking the synthesis of lipopolysaccharide in gram-negative bacteria neutralizing circulating cytokines blocking host cell receptor-mediated endocytosis blocking the separation of the A and B components of the exotoxin blocking secretion of proteins by bacterial cells blocking molecular determinants on superantigens that interacts with T cells blocking the release of cytokines from T cells

Answer 1

The harmful effects can be diminished by blocking the activities of T cells and cytokines.

Explanation:

The strategies that should be followed for diminishing the harmful effects are -

1. By blocking molecular determinants on superantigens that interacts with T cells .

2. By neutralizing circulating cytokines .

3. By blocking the secretion of proteins by bacterial cells .

4. By blocking the way of the release of cytokines from T cells .
