He also mentions another inmate having similar symptoms. His current temperature is 99.8 F (37.7 C), and he is hemodynamically stable. Chest auscultation reveals bilateral crackles and wheezes. On skin examination, erythematous, macular, target-like lesions are noted on the upper chest and arms bilaterally. There is no mucosal involvement. Lab work includes a hemoglobin level of 10.9 g/dl and a leukocyte count of 12000 cells/mm3. Chest x-ray shows bilateral peribronchial and perivascular interstitial infiltrates, airspace consolidation, and reticulonodular opacification. What the mechanism of action of the most appropriate treatment for this patient?

- *10.45 Male sexual behavior in Drosophila (fruit fly) is under the control of several regulatory genes, including a gene called fruitless. This gene has been cloned, and both genomic and cDNA clones are available. It encodes proteins that appear to function as male-specific transcriptional regulators. One means to understand more fully the function of fruitless in male sexual behavior is to identify genes for proteins that interact with its protein product. Describe the steps you would take to accomplish this goal.
