Questions on the Immune System Questions
Question 1 of 5
The innate immune response together with antibodies are generally not effective at clearing infections established by pathogens that replicate inside host cells. The evolution of T cells has provided a means for the immune response to 'see' intracellular infections based on the ability of T cells to:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: T cells detect intracellular pathogens via MHC-peptide complexes ; cytokines , interferon , or inflammation are indirect.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following is an immediate effect of histamine release?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Histamine causes vasodilation, increasing blood flow to the injury site, not blocking pollen responses, converting to histidine, or raising blood pressure.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the following statements regarding monoclonal antibodies is false?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Monoclonal antibodies are identical, binding one antigen, not a mix of different antibodies, making D false; others are true applications.
Question 4 of 5
Which of the following statements is true for neutrophils?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Neutrophils are the most abundant WBCs in blood, excelling in phagocytosis, not antigen presentation (DCs) or viral cell killing (NK cells).
Question 5 of 5
Which of the statements below describe a similarity between T and B cell receptors?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Both TCRs and BCRs activate via antigen binding to variable regions, unlike binding sites (BCR: 2, TCR: 1), chains (TCR: αβ, BCR: heavy/light), or secretion (BCR only).
