1. "Which of the following statements is/are true? The only region in the body where a virus‐infected cell can interact with T cells is in the lymph nodes. Virion surface proteins tend to elicit a stronger immune response during the course of natural infection than do internal components of the virion. Epitope‐containing antigens must be digested to single amino acids and reassembled at the surface in the presence of histocompatibility antigens in order to provoke immunity.

Defense Mechanism

Circumstances influence and compel people to behave in a certain way. One such behavior is a defense mechanism. It is employed by people to escape from unpleasant circumstances, thoughts and actions. Defense mechanisms are, thus, psychological strategies that help to avert and avoid unwanted feelings such as guilt or shame and situations such as threat and danger.
