Answer to Question 1

Answer: Autocrine signaling: produced by and act on the same cell. Example: Rarely seen; T-cells and IL-2.
Paracrine signaling: produced by and act on adjacent cells. Example: progenitors and precursors adjacent to the BM stroma.
Juxtacrine signaling: The cytokine remains membrane-bound, which requires interaction between membrane and membrane receptors to achieve the desired effect. Example: stem cells and SCF or FL.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: JAK: Janus family PTKs (protein tyrosine kinases) interact with the STAT transcription factors (signal transducers and activators of transcription). Once STAT proteins are phosphorylated by activated JAK kinases, they dimerize, translocate to the nucleus, bind to cytokine-specific DNA sequences, and activate (or inhibit) specific gene expression. Abnormalities in this pathway have been shown to cause polycythemia vera and other myeloproliferative disorders.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
