The Test Bank for The Immune System, 4th Edition by Peter Parham is a comprehensive, instructor‑oriented assessment resource that mirrors the textbook’s structure and learning objectives. It includes multiple‑choice, true/false, short-answer, and applied scenario questions mapped explicitly to each chapter’s concepts—such as immune cell development, antigen recognition, host defense mechanisms, immunopathology, and immunotherapy. Each question set is designed to assess conceptual understanding, data interpretation, and clinical reasoning, making it ideal for quizzes, midterms, and final exams in immunology or related biomedical courses. The test bank follows the confirmed chapter sequence from the publisher’s Table of Contents: Chapter 1: Elements of the Immune System and Their Roles in Defense; Chapter 2: Innate Immunity: the Immediate Response to Infection; Chapter 3: Innate Immunity: the Induced Response to Infection; Chapter 4: Antibody Structure and the Generation of B‑Cell Diversity; Chapter 5: Antigen Recognition by T Lymphocytes; Chapter 6: The Development of B Lymphocytes; Chapter 7: The Development of T Lymphocytes; Chapter 8: T Cell–Mediated Immunity; Chapter 9: Immunity Mediated by B Cells and Antibodies; Chapter 10: Preventing Infection at Mucosal Surfaces; Chapter 11: Immunological Memory and Vaccination; Chapter 12: Coevolution of Innate and Adaptive Immunity; Chapter 13: Failures of the Body’s Defenses; Chapter 14: IgE‑Mediated Immunity and Allergy; Chapter 15: Transplantation of Tissues and Organs; Chapter 16: Disruption of Healthy Tissue by the Adaptive Immune Response; and Chapter 17: Cancer and Its Interactions with the Immune System.
