MHC I

18
Q

20
Q

which of the following is NOT a characteristic of a natural killer cell: activated by MHC I suppression, releases perforin and granzyme, activated by antibody binding to a cell, part of the adaptive immune response?

part of the adaptive immune response - it’s innate

A

IgM

26
Q

which of the following is NOT a reason for plasma cells to ungerdo isotype switching?

28
Q

which antibody provides protection from pathogens in the intestines: IgM, IgA, IgG, IgE?

A

IgA

29
Q

which of the following is NOT a reason for affinity maturation of an antibody?
1. allows for improved binding to the target pathogen
2. allows for a host response to small amounts of pathogen evolution
3. DNA polymerase is error prone so changes will always happen
4. different antibody classes will target different parts of the antigen

A
  1. different antibody classes will target different parts of the antigen
30
