Which statement best describes the difference between responses of effector B cells (plasma cells) and those of cytotoxic T cells? (A) B cells confer active immunity;cytotoxic T cells confer passive immunity. (B) B cells respond the first time a pathogen is present; cytotoxic T cells respond subsequent times. (C) B cells secrete antibodies against a pathogen; cytotoxic T cells kill pathogen-infected host cells. (D) B cells carry out the cell-mediated response; cytotoxic T cells carry out the humoral response.

T cells and B cells can be activated only by, (a) pathogenic microorganisms.(b) interleukins, interferons, and colony-stimulating factors. (c) cells infected with viruses, bacterial cells, or cancer cells. (d) exposure to a specific antigen bound to a MHC protein on a plasma membrane.
Which of the following statements is not true?(A) An antibody has more than one antigen-binding site.(B) A lymphocyte has receptors for multiple differentantigens.(C) An antigen can have different epitopes.(D) A liver or muscle cell makes one class of MHC molecule.
Which of the following is NOT true about T cells?(a) T cells develop from lymphoid stem cells in the bonemarrow and mature in the thymus.(b) Cell-mediated immunity is primarily carried out by Tcells.(c) Subsequent differentiation of T cells produces cytotoxic(killer) T cells, delayed-hypersensitivity T cells, helper Tcells, and regulatory T cells.(d) Natural killer cells (NK) are exclusively differentiated Tcells.(e) T cells act in situations where antigens are embeddedin cell membranes or are inside host cells and thus areinaccessible to antibodies.
For question with blanks, choose the combination of answers that most accurately completes the statement.Helper T cells receive antigen from.......... , and cytotoxic T cells receive antigen from............. a. macrophages, B cells b. class II MHC, class I MHC c. viruses, bacteria d. class I MHC, class II MHC
Which of the following T cells would survive education in the thymus? (a) one that recognizes neither MHC nor self-antigen, (b) one that recognizes both MHC and self-antigen, (c) one that recognizes MHC but not self-antigen, (d) one that recognizes self-antigen but not MHC.
B lymphocytes, the precursors of plasma cells, are triggered to proliferate by the binding of multivalent antigens to receptors on their surfaces. The cell-surface receptors are transmembrane immunoglobulins. Univalent antigens, in contrast, do not activate B cells. (a) What do these findings reveal about the mechanism of B-cell activation? (b) How might antibodies be used to activate B cells?
Put the following steps in order for cell-mediated immunereactions:(a) Differentiated T cells include T helper, delayed hyper-sensitivity, cytotoxic, and memory T cells that all havedifferent immunological functions depending on the an-tigen presented.(b) Antigen-presenting cells (macrophages and dendriticcells) phagocytize pathogens, ingesting and degradingthem into pieces which are transported to the surface ofthe cell.(c) T cells bearing the corresponding receptor for the pre-sented antigen bind to it and become activated only ifthe appropriate MHC is also present.(d) Some pieces of the pathogen’s antigens are processedby inserting them into the antigen-presenting cell’smembrane and are held in place by class II majorhistocompatibility complex (MHCII) proteins.(e) Activated T cells are stimulated to divide and differen-tiate into different types of T cells, including memorycells
