Summary Introduction

The immune system of the human is divided into two types namely innate immunity and adaptive immunity. The innate immunity is the defense that occurs at the time of birth itself. However, the adaptive immunity is acquired by humans in their life time when they are exposed to various infections. The adaptive immunity works under two mechanisms, cell-mediated and humoral immunity. Cell-mediated immunity does not involve antibodies but involves cells like phagocytes and antigen-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes.

Which of the following statements are true for antigen presentation.   a. Antigen presentation means that other cells attach the pathogen first and present it to T cells.   b. Antigen-presenting cells display protein fragments, resulting from the digestion of the pathogen, in complex with MHC receptor to B cells   c. Antigen presenting cells display protein fragments, resulting from the digestion of the pathogen, in complex with MHC receptor on their surface.   d. Antigen-presenting cells are phagocytic cells   e. Antigen presentation is required for T cell activation   f. Cytokines released by macrophages are required for T cell activation   g. T cell receptors recognize the MHC receptors in complex with antigen fragments displayed by antigen-presenting cells.   h. Phagocytic cells are involved in innate immunity. Therefore they have no role in T-cell activation
Explain why each choice (a-d) is correct or incorrect. B lymphocytes are categorized as part of the adaptive branch of the immune system for all of the following reasons but one.  Which of the following is NOT one of the reasons B lymphocytes are considered part of the adaptive immunity? a.They produce memory cells when activated. b.Their receptors will bind to only one antigen. c.They require co-stimulation from an activated T helper cell d. They are a first line of defense that can begin killing pathogens immediately
Which of the following is not a function of antibodies? Select one: a. They neutralize pathogens by masking the pathogen surface. b. They act as molecular adaptors that bridge together pathogen and phagocyte surfaces. c. They exert toxic effects directly. d. They act as opsonins that mediate phagocytosis. e. They activate complement fixation.
