Question 5 of 5
Immune recognition of molecules belonging to self is important to
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Identification of self tells the immune system that the cell or molecule recognized is not a foe. Natural killer cells use this mechanism of self-recognition to halt their attack on cells that they perceive to be abnormal. Receptor generation by B and T cells occurs independently of initial encounter with self molecules. Pattern recognition receptors, on the other hand, are genetically programmed to recognize nonself. By triggering an attack on a cell expressing the self molecule, an immune recognition molecule violates its 'nonaggression pact' with the cells and molecules of the host and establishes an internal coup known as autoimmunity.
