A vaccine is attempting to stimulate the adaptive immune system to create memory. (slide 1:2)
a. true
b. false Correct Answer: a. true
A vaccine is attempting to stimulate the adaptive immune system to create a better innate
response. (slide 1:2)
a. true
b. false Correct Answer: b. false
*A vaccine is attempting to stimulate the adaptive immune system to create MEMORY.
However, we are just beginning to appreciate the role of the innate immune system in this
process.
In order to produce memory killer T cells which a vaccine, which of the following is true? (slide
1:4)
a. Antigen must be presented in a secondary lymph organ
b. Antigen presenting cell must present antigen on MHC II
c. Infected cell must present antigen on MHC I
d. Infected cell must present antigen on MHC I Correct Answer: c. Infected cell must present
antigen on MHC I
*The important point here is that memory B and helper T cells can be produced efficiently even
when no immune system cells have been infected by the attacker
In order to produce memory B cells which a vaccine, which of the following is true? (slide 1:4)
a. Antigen must be presented in a secondary lymph organ
b. Antigen presenting cell must present antigen on MHC II
c. Infected cell must present antigen on MHC I
d. Infected cell must present antigen on MHC I Correct Answer: a. Antigen must be presented in
a secondary lymph organ
*The important point here is that memory B and helper T cells can be produced efficiently even
when no immune system cells have been infected by the attacker

Most vaccines are believed to confer protection through what mechanism? (slide 1:6)
a. Neutralizing antibodies
b. Specific compliment proteins
c. Microglia
d. Antigen presenting cells Correct Answer: a. Neutralizing antibodies
In active immunization how can effectiveness be checked? (slide 1:6)
a. By using a skin scratch test
b. By analyzing T cell receptors against the cognate antigen
c. By measuring neutrophil levels in the blood
d. Checking antibody titers Correct Answer: d. Checking antibody titers
*most vaccines are believed to confer protection through neutralizing antibodies, which is the
basis of using antibody titers to asses level of protection
In vaccination, both antibody and T cell responses seem to depend on the innate immune system.
(slide 1:6)
a. true
b. false Correct Answer: a. true
In vaccination, both antibody and T cell responses seem to depend on the acquired immune
system. (slide 1:6)
a. true
b. false Correct Answer: b. false
*In vaccination, both antibody and T cell responses seem to depend on the INNATE immune
system
Immunity acquired through passive immunotherapy is best described by what statement? (slide
1:8)
a. Administration of an antigen so patient mounts a protective immune response
b. Transfer of antibodies formed by immune individual or animal
c. A drug administered that actives B cells to produce antibodies against a certain disease
