Neutralizing antibodies are effective at preventing infection or toxicity mediated by pathogens or their toxic products. In fact, nearly all
vaccines currently in use function by eliciting neutralizing antibodies. One example is the tetanus vaccine, in which neutralizing
antibodies are generated against an inactivated form of the tetanus toxin (the tetanus toxoid). The most important feature of a
neutralizing antibody is
having high affinity for the antigen.
being efficient at activating the complement cascade.
having a high degree of multivalency, such as being a pentamer or hexamer of immunoglobulin monomers.
being present at a high concentration in the circulation.

You are an immunocompromised person with a history of serious lung infections, putting you
at high risk of serious complications from COVID-19. Three weeks ago, you received your
2nd dose of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine against the SARS-CoV-2 virus, significantly
reducing your risk of developing severe disease if you are exposed to SARS-CoV-2. This is
considered which type of immunity? Pick one choice.
O Natural Active Immunity
O Natural Passive Immunity
Artificial Active Immunity
O Artificial Passive Immunity
Innate Immunity
The current view in the field of immunology is that dendritic cells are the primary antigen-presenting cells for stimulating naive T cells. One piece of evidence supporting this conclusion is the observation that IRF8-deficient individuals, which retain their tissue-resident macrophages, are susceptible to a range of severe opportunistic infections caused by intracellular bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Explain the reasoning behind this argument.
