True/False: Neutrophils regulate the production of active cathelicidins (a class of antimicrobial peptides) by segregating the inactive propeptide from the processing enzyme that cleaves and activates it in two different types of cytoplasmic granules. These two types of granules are induced to fuse with phagosomes after ingestion of microbes, bringing the processing enzyme and the propeptide together.
Do interferons contribute to oncogenesis (if yes, then how exactly)? With pertinent examples, describe these antitumor effects of interferons; Pro-apoptosis, Immune effects, Inhibition of metastasis and Inhibition of angiogenesis.
In spite of their low affinity for binding to their antigen, IgM antibodies can be quite effective at promoting the elimination of extracellular bacterial infections. This is due to: The ability of IgM antibodies to traffic across epithelial surfaces Multivalent binding of IgM pentamers to repetitive epitopes on bacterial surfaces The high concentration of IgM antibodies in the serum and in all tissues The early production of IgM antibodies during an immune response The high rate of somatic hypermutation in the genes encoding IgM antibodies
Match each autoimmune disease with its characteristics and the immune cell/s or molecules most associated with the disease (e.g., Antibodies, T cells, CTLs and TREG cells).

Mannose binding lectins (MBL) and ficolins are the two classes of proteins that can initiate the lectin pathway of complement activation. These proteins are selective for activating complement on the surfaces of microbial pathogens rather than host cells because: Their higher-order oligomeric structure can be assembled only after the monomers first bind to pathogen membranes. They only recruit MASP (MBL-associated serine proteases) proteins when bound to pathogen surfaces and not when bound to host cells. They only undergo the conformational change needed to activate MASP proteins when bound to a pathogen and not when bound to a host cell. They only bind to carbohydrate side chains and oligosaccharide modifications found on pathogen surfaces but not on host cell membranes. The activated MASP proteins are rapidly inactivated by hydrolysis when present on the surface of a host cell.
