Textbook Question
Chapter 34, Problem 7MCQ
Why is the secondary immune response so much stronger than the primary response?
a. Because high concentrations ns of antibodies are already present
b. Because the phagocytes present the antigens more rapidly
c. Because memory B cells can rapidly convert to plasma cells
d. Because protein synthesis occurs more quickly in memory cells

In what process is clonal selection important?a. Complement function c. Inflammationb. B cell activation d. Phagocytosis
Explain why each choice (a-d) is correct or incorrect.
Which statement is true about T cells?
a. They usually directly recognize antigens, which then activates a subpopulation of killer cells
b. Their proliferation is enhanced by interleukins 1 and 2.
c. Once activated, they cannot secrete cytokines.
d. They will develop into cytotoxic T cells if antigen is complexed with class II MHC proteins.
Suppose a person recovers normally from viral infections, but then gets the same viral infections over and over again- unlike the rest of us.
A. What is probably wrong –B cells, helper T cells and/or cytotoxic T cells?
B. Should this person be at a higher risk of cancer than the rest of us?
C. Should this person be able to lyse bacterial cells as well as the rest of us?
D. Should this person tolerate a graft (from an unreated person) better than you are me?
