Antibodies are produced in cells called
plasma cells.
Lymphocytes that develop immunocompetence in the thymus are
T lymphocytes
Which of the following is NOT one of the cardinal signs of inflammation?
Opsonization
Which of the following is not an innate defense mechanism of the body?
B lymphocytes
The classical and alternate pathway for complement fixation converge at
cleaving complement protein C3 into C3a and C3b
Neutrophils squeeze through capillary walls to begin phagocytosis is process called
Diapedesis
A “foreign” molecule which can invoke the immune response is called a(n)
antigen
All of the following are names of antigen-presenting cells except
T-lymphocytes.
CD8 receptor proteins are found on helper T cells.
False
The cell that matures in the thymus gland later produces antibodies
False
All the following are true of IgG except
it can pass through placenta to the fetus.
it is an important factor of the secondary antibody response.
it is the major circulating antibody.
it is critically important in allergic reaction.
it is critically important in allergic reaction.
Small molecules, such as peptides, nucleotides, and some hormones that are not immunogenic are called as haptens
True
Movement of WBC towards the site of infection due to increase concentration of chemical substances is called diapedesis
False
Which of the complement proteins promote inflammation? C4bC2a C3b C5a C5b both b and d are correct
C5a
The first antibody produced in a any infection is: IgA. IgM. IgG. IgD. Ig E
IgM
Colostrum (mother’s initial milk) contains which of the following antibodies. IgA. IgM. IgG. IgD. Ig E
IgA
Redness, heat, swelling , and pain and loss of functions are
characteristic signs of inflammation.
effects of exotoxins on the body.
side effects of anti-inflammatory drugs.
signs of immunosuppression
characteristic signs of inflammation
A foreign molecule which can invoke immune response is called an antigen
True
In an alternate pathway of complement activation, antigen is bonded with proteins B,D and P that splits complement C5 into C5a and C5b
False
An immunoglobulin that peaks early in infection is monomeric type
False
Stomach mucosae secrete concentrated HCl and protein-digesting enzymes. This mechanism of defense system can be classified as adaptive immune system.
False
Kupffer cells are the types of macrophage that reside in the liver
True
Neutrophils are those leukocytes that function in the production of antibodies. as manufacturers of coagulase. as phagocytes in body resistance. to neutralize acidic environments
as phagocytes in body resistance.
CD8 receptor proteins are found on helper T cells. macrophages. cytotoxic T cells. plasma cells.
cytotoxic T cells.
The cell that matures in the thymus gland
localizes in the skin tissues.
becomes a plasma cell.
is responsible for cell-mediated immunity.
produces antibodies.
is responsible for cell-mediated immunity
Which one of the following is not an antigen? Components of bacterial capsules Flagella proteins Pilus protein Haptens
Haptens
Haptens are poor stimulators of immunity because haptens may be
unable to accomplish capping.
too small to recognize the antigens at the receptor sites.
unable to locate the proper B cell.
easily digested by the phagocytes.
too small to recognize the antigens at the receptor sites.
Macrophages are involved in presenting antigen fragments to T cells. phagocytosis. destroying antigen-antibody complexes. All the above (A-C) are correct
All the above (A-C) are correct
Macrophages are involved in presenting antigen fragments to T cells. phagocytosis. production of antibodies both a and b are correct
both a and b are correct
