Assignment 9

Peer reviewer feedback:

Opening paragraph: The context for the remaining sections of the article is well set up, especially by introducing their relationship to T reg cells and their role in other immunological system functions. Alluding to experimental evidence also provides context tot he research and the nature of the field. The second sentence is a little confusing to me about the signals that encourage one also discourage the other. Maybe its as simple as terminology/ word choice changes?

Grammar/punctuation: I have emailed you a copy of your text corrected for grammar and punctuation.

Technical/appropriate audience: I think the lead, function, and Th17 cells in disease are not too technical. They set up ideas and define terms that allow reader to follow through easily. The more technical sections are differentiation, role of Th17 cells in autoimmune disorders, and loss of Th17 cells in HIV pathogenesis. It is harder to follow the description in these paragraphs, but as an Immunology student I have a lot of appreciation for them!. You can consider adding a citation to the last sentence of the differentiation paragraph, even if you did not write it yourself. I have found it helpful to cite in brackets, the other wikipedia articles referring to the vocabulary words you used. I would also keep defining more terms, like interleukin, for example.

Recent citations: You have well over 5 current citations. They are all from the past decade or so. Especially your Loss of Th17 cells in HIV pathogenesis section, where you have research from the past five years or so.

Copy-edit: I have emailed you the word document with some of the my grammar, punctuation, and other minor edits and suggestions. Hopefully these are helpful, let me know if you have any questions!

3-5 new paragraphs/1-3 paragraph modifications: It seems to me like you contributed most to the Loss of Th17 cells in HIV pathogenesis sections. You have 3-4 paragraphs here. I can also see in your view history that you have made significant change stop the lead sections and some changes to the differentiation and function sections. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Immcarl17 (talk • contribs) 08:29, 25 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Assignment 4.5: New Final Article Choice

I'm actually going to edit the Th17 page.

Assignment 4: Final Article Choice

I will be adding information about the role of mucus in the gut. Mucus is an essential part of fighting inflammation in the gut.

Potential Choices for Article to Edit

HIV Tropism: This page on HIV tropism hasn't been updated since 2011. The term tropism refers to the types of cells a given virus can enter and replicate it. HIV generally enters cells through receptor-mediated endocytosis, a process that has some similarity to phagocytosis.

MHC restriction: This is an important part of antigen recognition by T cells. This article does not cite any sources or discuss causes of MHC restriction. It could also use some more information about cases where MHC restriction does not occur.

Mucus: Mucus is a very important part of gut immunity and maintaining homeostasis between immune cells and gut bacteria. There's little to nothing about this important intestinal role of mucus in this wikipedia article!!!
