Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The cell-mediated immunity is an immune response that activates the phagocytes and antigen specific cytotoxic T-lymphocytes and releases various cytokines in response to antigen. The immune complex immunity refers to the humoral immunity. IgG and IgM play major roles in this immunity. If antibody rises against a particular antigen at that time, the antigen antibody complex is formed.

Binding of the variable region to multiple different/distinct sites on the antigen. d. None of these. e. Binding of the antigen in regions essential for its function.arrow_forwardWhich of the following cells are involvedin innate immunity but not in adaptiveimmunity?a. helper T cellsb. cytotoxic T cellsc. natural killer cellsd. B cellse. plasma cellsarrow_forwardAn essential property of the immune system is self-regulation. An immune response that is not adequate can lead to immunodeficiency, whereas an immune response that is excessive can lead to conditions from allergic responses to autoimmune diseases.

The vaccine contains the lymphocytes necessary to fight infection. c. The secondary response of the adaptive immunity is faster and more efficient than the primary response. d. B lymphocytes are unable to mount an immune response the first time they are exposed to a new pathogen.arrow_forwardIn organ transplantation, minor histocompatibility antigens Select one: A. can trigger hyperacute graft rejection. B. are ABO blood group antigens. C. can be detected by cross matching. D. are MHC-bound peptides that differ between donors and recipients as a result of genetic polymorphisms.

- Which of the following statements are true for antigen presentation. a. Antigen presentation means that other cells attach the pathogen first and present it to T cells. b. Antigen-presenting cells display protein fragments, resulting from the digestion of the pathogen, in complex with MHC receptor to B cells c. Antigen presenting cells display protein fragments, resulting from the digestion of the pathogen, in complex with MHC receptor on their surface. d. Antigen-presenting cells are phagocytic cells e. Antigen presentation is required for T cell activation f. Cytokines released by macrophages are required for T cell activation g.
