Question
Chapter 15, Problem 9MCQ
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Mechanism is the binding between outer proteins of the microbes and the specific receptors in the host. It favors the microbes that infect cells as they are capable of replication.

Identify the mismatched pair.
a. CXCR4: lymphocyte tropic
b. exogenous retrovirus: originates outside host’s body
c. infectious virion production: activated CD4 T cells
d. tat: controls export of transcripts from the nucleus
e. lentivirus: long incubation period
f. CCR5: macrophage tropic.
Which of the following is NOT a mechanism used by the immune system to fight
multicellular parasites?
Select one:
a. Antibodies coating the pathogen surface bind to FcRs on mast cells, causing release of granule contents onto
surface, and damage the parasite.
b. Crosslinking of antibody binding to FceRI on eosinophils cells triggers release of granules, causing smooth
muscle contractions.
Muscle contractions in the mucosal tracts causes sneezing, coughing, vomiting or diarrhea, dislodging the
parasite.
d. The parasite is killed and broken down extracellularly, and then phagocytosed by macrophages.
C.
Identify the statement that does not provide accurate evidence as to why HIV is so lethal.
a.
During the course of infection, HIV increases immune activation by altering intestinal physiology to let more microbes into the blood supply.
b.
Immune evasion increases in many infections due to HIV virions evolving new and unrecognizable epitopes (antigens).
c.
In many individuals the virus population evolves to use different receptors to gain access to a greater diversity of host immune cells.
d.
HIV causes enhanced replication and proliferation of T cells, which allows the immune system to work better at defending against pathogens.
