The transplantation of organs from one person to another was impossible until the discovery of immunosuppressive drugs. Now, with the use of drugs such as cyclosporine, organs can be transplanted without rejection. Transplant patients must take immunosuppressive drugs for the remainder of their lives. What are the potential risks associated with long-term use of immunosuppressive drugs?

- Superantigensa) are exceptionally large antigen molecules.b) cause a very large antibody response.c) elicit a response from a large number of T cells.d) attach non-specifically to B-cell receptors.e) assist in a protective immune response.arrow_forwardA man gets bitten by a rattle snake. The man is rushed to the hospital and they administer to him anti-rattle snake venom. The anti-rattle snake venom is horse antibodies that were raised against rattle snake venom, and it provides immunity against rattle snake venom. Based on what you studied in the lecture: A) what is the type of immunity that antivenom provides? B) Are the antibodies part of the innate or the adaptive immune responses? C) From what you have learned about the properties of antibodies, can this horse anti-rattle snake venom be used as anti-venom to Cobra snake venom? Explain briefly. D) Six months after this incident, the same person got bitten again by a rattle snake. However, at the hospital the doctors were informed that he was previously given horse anti-venom and so they decided that this person cannot be injected again with horse anti-venom, and they had to find an anti-venom not prepared in horse. Explain briefly why he cannot get any horse anti-venom again,…arrow_forwardAll of the following cells directly incorporate antigens into their structures, EXCEPT: A). Antigen presenting cells. B). Helper T cells C). B cells D). Killer T cellsarrow_forward
- The circulating cytokines that recruit large numbers of phagocytes to the area of inflammation, resulting in pus, are called: O1) pyogens O 2) pyrogens 3) interferons O 4) defensinsarrow_forwardWhich of the following is NOT involved in antigen presentation to helper T Cells? a.) CD4 b.) Class I MHC c.) T Cell Receptors d.) Class II MHCarrow_forwardAlthough the immune system has two arms, it has been said, “No T cells, no immunity.” How is this so?arrow_forward
- The correct order of words to describe how innate immune response responds to a pathogen that has gotten by the physical and chemical barriers is: À) Skin, Saliva, Cytokines, Macrophage B)Macrophage, Cytokines, Neutrophil, Natural Killer Cell C) Neutrophil, Cytokines, Killer T Cell, Antibodies D) Antigen, Macrophage, B Cell, Killer T Cellarrow_forwardWhich of the following lists contains cells that are typically considered to be associated with the innate immune response? Question 14 options: A) neutrophils, macrophages, T cells B) neutrophils, macrophages, NK cells C) B cells, T cells, and NK cells D) basophils, T cells, mast cellsarrow_forwardWhich of the following happens during inflammation? A) O The capillaries supplying blood to the area become more permeable. B)O Certain cytokines cause deadened nerve endings, alleviating pain. C) O Neutrophils exit blood vessels and phagocytize cells in the infected area. 11) D.OB cells and T cells exit blood vessels and interact with pathogens. E) O two of the above are correctarrow_forward
- Helper T cells: A) produce antibodies B) can act as memory cells C) initiate both the cell mediated response and the humoral response D) all of the abovearrow_forwardWhich of the following accurately describes the inducibility of adaptive immunity? A) a given immune response acts against a specific antigen possessed by a pathogen B) both cells and antibodies are involved in immune responses C) immune cells acting against a given pathogen increase greatly in number upon encountering that pathogen D) immune responses against the body's own molecules do not normally occur E) pathogens stimulate cells involved in adaptive immunityarrow_forward1) The immune system and the brain are (two correct answers) : unrelated to one another strictly connected communicate through biological pathways including inflammation 2) How would you define the relationship between the immune system and the brain? a) Unidirectional (the immune system does not influence the brain) b) Unidirectional (the brain influences the immune system but only in case of severe physical diseases like cancer) c) bidirectional (they influence each other)arrow_forward
