Question IV Boris was bitten by a rabid dog He was brought t

Question IV. Boris was bitten by a rabid dog. He was brought to the Emergency Room, and the attending physician ordered administration of horse serum containing anti-rabies virus immunoglobulin. What is the most likely mechanism by which the horse serum would protect the patient from developing rabies? Assess the following statements (52-55) and denote the statement, which describes the most likely mechanism as “true”, whereas the remaining 3 statements as “false”:

52. Antibodies from the horse serum will be recognized as foreign by the patient\'s immune system and this will produce an adjuvant effect that will help to stimulate the patient\'s immune response against the virus.

53. Antibodies from the horse serum will bind to rabies virus particles and neutralize them so that they are unable to infect the patient\'s cells.

54. Complement proteins in the horse serum will become activated after injection into the patient and attack the viral particles causing their destruction.

55. Antibodies from the horse serum will cause antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) of virally infected cells.

Solution

ANSWER:

53 statment

why because when doctor was given the ANTI-RABIS VIRUS IMMUNOGLOBALIN with the category 3 exposure its leads to the NEUTRILIZE rabis virus via immediate local infiltration of the wound so 53 statment was correct for the above questions
