Ch. 11 - Cell-Cell Interactions

Chapter 11, Problem 10

Suppose you have an antibody that binds to the receptor tyrosine kinase illustrated in Figure 11.16. When you add this antibody to the cell, you find that it activates the cell response, even when no signaling molecule is present. Explain this result.

Video transcript

Hello everyone. And in today's video we have the following problem. What effect do tyrosine kinase inhibitors have on the process of growth signaling while these tires in chains is an enzyme present in the cell that promotes growth by via signaling. So let's just see the relationship that we have here. We have the tires in Kane's inhibitors inhibit tires in chains and this causes growth to just stop or is going to reduce the rate of growth. And because we have inhibitors canceling tires in chinese and stopping growth, this is going to stop the growth in the cell and this is going to be due to lack of signaling. There's nothing signaling the cell anymore to grow so the cell will not grow. So let's just highlight the answer choice that has to do with this and looking at answer choice a that will stop the cell from growing and dividing. That is the most correct answer choice from the ones that we are given. So that is going to be the end of the video. I really hope this helped you and I hope to see you on the next one.
