Question 1 of 5

Several subsets of innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) have been identified that share their patterns of cytokine production with the known subsets of T cells. The combined activity of related ILC and T cell subsets is effective in eradicating pathogenic infections because:

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: ILCs respond early, followed by specific T cells ; ILCs aid killing , don't solely activate B cells , or migrate to nodes .

Question 2 of 5

The experiment shown in Figure Q6.19 uses two strains of mice that differ in their MHC genes. Strain A is H-2^a and Strain B is H-2^b. Mice of each strain are infected with the virus LCMV, and T cells are isolated at day 8 post-infection. These T cells are mixed with target cells that express either H-2^a or H-2^b; in each case, the target cells are either uninfected or infected with LCMV. The explanation for the results of this experiment is:

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: T cells are MHC-restricted; strain A T cells recognize H-2^a ; both strains respond (A, B), H-2^b cells are infected .

Question 3 of 5

The body's innate defenses against infection include

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Innate defenses are nonspecific and include physical barriers like dead skin cells and mucus, which prevent pathogen entry, unlike antibodies or memory cells (adaptive immunity).

Question 4 of 5

When a B cell first interacts with its particular antigen, the B cell

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: B cells, upon antigen binding, differentiate into plasma cells that produce antibodies, not dying, engulfing, or altering antigens.

Question 5 of 5

Where is the antigen-binding site of this antibody?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The antigen-binding site is at site A (assumed figure), located at the variable regions of the antibody's arms.
