Summary Introduction

The complex system of the immune system includes special type of cells called lymphocytes. These lymphocytes are immune cells that act against infectious agents like bacteria, virus, and other pathogens. Lymphocytes are classified into two types namely B lymphocytes or B cell, and T lymphocytes or T cell based on the place where they are originated. B cells are synthesized in the bone marrow and T cells in the thymus. There is one more category in lymphocytes that includes natural killer cells.

Which of the following explains why dendritic cells, but not macrophages or B cells, contribute to the activation of naive T cells? a. Macrophages and B cells do not express MHC class II molecules until they are activated. b. Dendritic cells upregulate B7 after engaging innate immunity receptors at sites of infection. c. Dendritic cells express higher levels of CTLA4. d. Macrophages and B cells do not process antigen. e. Dendritic cells use Toll-like receptors to hold antigen in place for extended periods of time.
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
A number of minor cancerous cells and infected viruses, such as Epstein Barr (EBV), are able to go undetected by cytotoxic T cell degradation by what possible mechanism?    a. the production of normal class I MHC molecule   b. helper T cell activation   c. the deactivation of the complement system   d. tumor antigen expression     e. the production of the class II major histocompatability (MHC) moledule
