Question
While on a backpacking trip you are bitten by a poisonous snake and transferred to the nearest
hospital, where you receive human immunoglobulin treatment against the poisonous snake venom.
You recover from your snakebite and return home. One year later during an environmental studies
field trip, you are bitten once again by the same type of snake. Please select the correct answers:
O Compared to the first snakebite, are you equally sensitive to the venom from the second bite. There are no
residual cells or antibodies that were involved in the original encounter with this snake venom and, therefore,
no recall response.
You are not protected from the second bite. The immunoglobulin you received 1 year ago protected you
temporarily but those antibodies are now gone and you have no memory B cells to produce new antibodies
during the second exposure.
Antibodies in the serum bound to the snake venom and neutralized its ability to cause damage. Phagocytes
then engulfed and destroyed antibody-coated venom. Because the snake venom was coated with antibodies,
naïve B cells were not activated during the first exposure and therefore no adaptive immune response was
mounted.
Compared to the first snakebite, are you more sensitive to the venom from the second bite. The venom has
damaged your immune cells.
Since you fully recovered from the first snakebite, you develop adaptive immunity and you are protected from
the effects of the poison this second time.
