MULTIPLE CHOICE tb
1. The principal function of the immune system is:
tb tb tb tb tb tb tb
a. Defense against cancer tb tb
b. Repair of injured tissues tb tb tb
c. Defense against microbial infections tb tb tb
d. Prevention of inflammatory diseases tb tb tb
e. Protection against environmental toxins tb tb tb
ANS: C t b t b
The immune system has evolved in the setting of selective pressures imposed by microbial
tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb
infections. Although immune responses to cancer may occur, the concept that
tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb
―immunosurveillance‖ against cancer is a principal function of the immune system is
tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb
controversial. Repair of injured tissues may be a secondary consequence of the immune
tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb
responses and inflammation. Although the immune system has regulatory features that are
tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb
needed to prevent excessive inflammation, prevention of inflammatory diseases is not a
tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb
primary function. The immune system can protect against microbial toxins, but it generally
tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb
does not offer protection against toxins of nonbiologic origin.
tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb
2. Which of the following infectious diseases was prevented by the first successful
tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb
vaccination?
tb
a. Polio
b. Tuberculosis
c. Smallpox
d. Tetanus
e. Rubella
ANS: C t b t b
In 1798, Edward Jenner reported the first intentional successful vaccination, which was
tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb
against smallpox in a boy, using material from the cowpox pustules of a milkmaid. In 1980,
tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb
smallpox was reported to be eradicated worldwide by a vaccination program. Effective
tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb
vaccines against tetanus toxin, rubella virus, and poliovirus were developed in the 20th
tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb
century and are widely used. There is no effective vaccine against Mycobacterium
tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb
tuberculosis.

3. Which of the following is a unique property of the adaptive immune system?
tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb
a. Highly diverse repertoire of specificities for antigens tb tb tb tb tb tb
b. Self-nonself discrimination tb
c. Recognition of microbial structures by both cell-associated and soluble receptors tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb
d. Protection against viral infections tb tb tb
e. Responses that have the same kinetics and magnitude on repeated exposure to the tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb
same microbe tb tb
ANS: t b t b A
, Highly diverse repertoires of specificities for antigens are found only in T and B
tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb
lymphocytes, which are the central cellular components of the adaptive immune system.
tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb
Both the innate and the adaptive immune systems use cell-associated and soluble receptors
tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb
to recognize microbes, display some degree of self-nonself discrimination, and protect
tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb
against viruses. On repeated exposure to the same microbe, the adaptive immune response
tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb
becomes more rapid and of greater magnitude; this is the manifestation of memory.
tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb
4. Antibodies and T lymphocytes are the respective mediators of which two types of
tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb
immunity?
tb
a. Innate and adaptive tb tb
b. Passive and active tb tb
c. Specific and nonspecific tb tb
d. Humoral and cell-mediated tb tb
e. Adult and neonatal tb tb
ANS: D t b t b
Both B and T lymphocytes are principal components of adaptive immunity. B lymphocytes
tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb
produce antibodies, which are the recognition and effector molecules of humoral immune
tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb
responses to extracellular pathogens. T cells recognize and promote eradication of
tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb
intracellular pathogens in cell-mediated immunity. Passive and active immunity both can be
tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb
mediated by either B or T lymphocytes. Specific immunity is another term for adaptive
tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb
immunity. Both B and T lymphocytes participate in adult adaptive immunity but are still
tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb
developing in the neonatal period.

5. The two major functional classes of effector T lymphocytes are:
tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb
a. Helper T lymphocytes and cytotoxic T lymphocytes tb tb tb tb tb tb
b. Natural killer cells and cytoWtoWxW

c. Memory T cells and effector T cells tb tb tb tb tb tb
d. Helper cells and antigen-presenting cells tb tb tb tb
e. Cytotoxic T lymphocytes and target cells tb tb tb tb tb
ANS: A t b t b
T cells can be classified into effector subsets that perform different effector functions. Most
tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb
effector T cells are either helper T lymphocytes, which enhance the responses of other
tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb
immune cells, including phagocytes and B cells, to infections, or cytotoxic T lymphocytes,
tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb
which directly kill infected cells. Natural killer cells are not T lymphocytes.
tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb
Antigen-presenting cells usually are not T cells. Memory T cells are not effector T cells. tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb
6. Which of the following cell types is required for all adaptive humoral immune responses?
tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb tb
a. Natural killer cells tb tb
b. Dendritic cells tb
c. Cytolytic T lymphocytes tb tb
d. B lymphocytes tb
e. Helper T lymphocytes tb tb
ANS: D t b t b
Humoral immune responses are antibody-mediated immune responses, and all antibodies

are made by B lymphocytes and no other cell type.
