A. ability to cross the placenta B. isotype (class of antibody) C. ability to fix complement D. affinity for drugarrow_forwardA number of vaccines against the SARS-CoV-2 virus (which causes COVID) are currently in use. Based on what you learned about the immune system and vaccines, this vaccine should provide immunity against this virus because: a Vaccines bind to the variable region of immunoglobulins, and prevent the antibody-antigen interactions required for the virus to be released from cells. b Vaccines elicit a primary immune response and resulting memory cells specific to the viral antigens can persist in the body c Vaccines block clonal expansion of helper T cells which are required for the virus to infect cells d Vaccines block the production of cytokines e Vaccines induce cytotoxic T cells to produce antibodies specific to antigens on the virusarrow_forward

Found on the surface of B lymphocytes. V. Comprises 75% of antibodies in adult blood. What is the correct order of above definitions? A) IgE, IgM, IgA, IgD, IgG. B) IgD, IgM, IgA, IgE, IgG. C) IgE, IgG, IgA, IgD, IgM. D) IgA, IgM, IgE, IgD, IgG.arrow_forwardWhich one of the following most correctly describes vaccines containing live, attenuated pathogens? A.They are administered by injection. B.They provide little cell-mediated immunity. C.There is no possibility for reversion to pathogenic form. D.Pathogen does not multiply in human hosts E.They provide extended, sometimes life-long immunity.arrow_forwardThe region of an antibody that is the antigen binding site is thea. constant region. b. variable region. c. heavy chain. d. light chain. e. hinge region.arrow_forward

It can be triggered by infectious agent in absence of antibody. а. b. It does not require C1, C2 or C4. с. It cannot be initiated unless C3b fragments are already present. d. It has the terminal sequence of events as the lectin pathway.arrow_forwardLet’s say there are two closely related viruses, let’s call them Guernsey virus and Micro virus. These two viruses only infect epithelial cells. Their surface antigens are sufficiently similar that there are a number of shared epitopes between the two viruses. Choose one of the following: A) If you get infected and successfully recover from one virus, it’s quite possible that you’ll have neutralizing antibodies against the other. B) If you get infected and successfully recover from one virus, you’ll still be susceptible to the other one because the antigens aren’t exactly the same. C) If you get infected and successfully recover from one virus, it’s likely that getting infected with the other virus will be worse because of the common phenomena of antibody-dependent enhancement. D) Not enough information has been given.arrow_forward
