C - answer- Most important role of eosinophil:
A. Phagocytosis
B. Kill larger parasites that cannot be phagocytized
C. Regulation of the immune response, including regulation of mast cell
function
D. None of these
D - answer- Constituents of granules include histamine, cytokines, growth factors, and
a small amount of heparin, all of which have an important function in inducing
and maintaining allergic reactions:
A. Monocyte
B. Neutrophil
C. Eosinophil
D. Basophil
,A - answer- One distinguishing feature is an irregularly folded or horseshoe-shaped
nucleus that occupies almost one-half of the entire cell's volume. The
abundant cytoplasm stains a dull grayish blue and has a ground-glass
appearance because of the presence of fine dust-like granules. What is the
cell described?
A. Monocyte
B. Neutrophil
C. Eosinophil
D. Basophil
B - answer- Macrophages in the liver:
A. Histiocytes
B. Kupffer cells
C. Mesangial cells
D. Microglial cells
A - answer- The normal ratio of CD8+ to CD4+ cells is approximately ___ in peripheral
,blood.
A. 1:2
B. 1:3
C. 2:1
D. 3:1
C - answer- Described as large granular lymphocytes, these cells make up 10% to 15% of
the circulating lymphoid pool and are found mainly in the liver, spleen, and
peripheral blood.
A. B cells
B. T cells
C. NK cells
D. Plasma cells
C - answer- Cells that are involved in the innate immune response and are actively
phagocytic include:
1. Neutrophils
2. Monocytes, macrophages
, 3. Dendritic cells
4. Lymphocytes
A. 1 and 2
B. 2 and 3
C. 1, 2 and 3
D. 1, 2, 3 and 4
D - answer- In his book published in 1917, Karl Landsteiner detailed the results of an
exhaustive study of haptens that has contributed greatly to our knowledge of
antigen-antibody reactions.
A. Cellular and Molecular Immunology
B. Essential Guide to Blood Groups
C. The New Science of Human Health
D. The Specificity of Serological Reactions
A - answer- MHC molecules are found on all nucleated cells; these molecules associate
with foreign antigens, such as viral proteins, synthesized within a host
cell. This is known as the endogenous pathway for antigen presentation.
