MULTIPLE CHOICE gx




1. The principal function of the immune system is:
gx gx gx gx gx gx gx


a. Defense against cancer gx gx


b. Repair of injured tissues gx gx gx


c. Defense against microbial infections gx gx gx


d. Prevention of inflammatory diseases gx gx gx


e. Protection against environmental toxins gx gx gx




ANS: C g x


The immune system has evolved in the setting of selective pressures imposed by microbi
gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx


al infections. Although immune responses to cancer may occur, the concept that ―immun
gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx


osurveillance‖ against cancer is a principal function of the immune system is controversi
gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx


al. Repair of injured tissues may be a secondary consequence of the immune responses a
gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx


nd inflammation. Although the immune system has regulatory features that are needed to
gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx


prevent excessive inflammation, prevention of inflammatory diseases is not a primary fu
gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx


nction. The immune system can protect against microbial toxins, but it generally does not
gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx g


offer protection against toxins of nonbiologic origin.

2. Which of the following infectious diseases was prevented by the first successf
gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx


ul vaccination?
gx


a. Polio
b. Tuberculosis
c. Smallpox
d. Tetanus
e. Rubella
ANS: C g x


In 1798, Edward Jenner reported the first intentional successful vaccination, which was a
gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx


gainst smallpox in a boy, using material from the cowpox pustules of a milkmaid. In 1980
gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx


, smallpox was reported to be eradicated worldwide by a vaccination program. Effective
gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx


vaccines against tetanus toxin, rubella virus, and poliovirus were developed in the 20th c
gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx


entury and are widely used. There is no effective vaccine against Mycobacterium tubercu
gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx


losis.

3. Which of the following is a unique property of the adaptive immune system?
gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx


a. Highly diverse repertoire of specificities for antigens
gx gx gx gx gx gx


b. Self-nonself discrimination gx


c. Recognition of microbial structures by both cell-associated and soluble receptors
gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx


d. Protection against viral infections gx gx gx


e. Responses that have the same kinetics and magnitude on repeated exposure to t
gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx


he same microbe gx gx




ANS: g x A

, Highly diverse repertoires of specificities for antigens are found only in T and B lympho
gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx


cytes, which are the central cellular components of the adaptive immune system. Both th
gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx


e innate and the adaptive immune systems use cell-
gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx


associated and soluble receptors to recognize microbes, display some degree of self-
gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx


nonself discrimination, and protect against viruses. On repeated exposure to the same mi
gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx


crobe, the adaptive immune response becomes more rapid and of greater magnitude; this
gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx g


is the manifestation of memory.
x gx gx gx gx




4. Antibodies and T lymphocytes are the respective mediators of which two types
gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx


of immunity?
gx


a. Innate and adaptive gx gx


b. Passive and active gx gx


c. Specific and nonspecific gx gx


d. Humoral and cell-mediated gx gx


e. Adult and neonatal gx gx




ANS: D g x


Both B and T lymphocytes are principal components of adaptive immunity. B lymphocyte
gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx


s produce antibodies, which are the recognition and effector molecules of humoral immun
gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx


e responses to extracellular pathogens. T cells recognize and promote eradication of intrac
gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx


ellular pathogens in cell- gx gx gx


mediated immunity. Passive and active immunity both can be mediated by either B or T ly
gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx


mphocytes. Specific immunity is another term for adaptive immunity. Both B and T lymp
gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx


hocytes participate in adult adaptive immunity but are still developing in the neonatal peri
gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx


od.

5. The two major functional classes of effector T lymphocytes are:
gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx


a. Helper T lymphocytes and cytotoxic T lymphocytesgx gx gx gx gx gx


b. Natural killer cells and cytoWtoWxW

c. Memory T cells and effector T cells gx gx gx gx gx gx


d. Helper cells and antigen-presenting cells gx gx gx gx


e. Cytotoxic T lymphocytes and target cells gx gx gx gx gx




ANS: A g x


T cells can be classified into effector subsets that perform different effector functions. Mo
gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx


st effector T cells are either helper T lymphocytes, which enhance the responses of other
gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx


immune cells, including phagocytes and B cells, to infections, or cytotoxic T lymphocyt
gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx


es, which directly kill infected cells. Natural killer cells are not T lymphocytes.
gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx


Antigen-presenting cells usually are not T cells. Memory T cells are not effector T cells. gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx




6. Which of the following cell types is required for all adaptive humoral immune responses?
gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx gx


a. Natural killer cells gx gx


b. Dendritic cells gx


c. Cytolytic T lymphocytes gx gx


d. B lymphocytes gx


e. Helper T lymphocytes gx gx




ANS: D g x


Humoral immune responses are antibody- gx gx gx gx


mediated immune responses, and all antibodies are made by B lymphocytes and no oth
