Final Exam Study Materials for
Microbiology by Dane Hudson – Q&A
Practice & Review
Antibodies may coat a pathogen to allow white blood cells to more easily
phagocytose it. This process is known as... - ANSWER-opsonization
All cells have a "barcode" of proteins on their surfaces that are unique to that cell
type. Our immune system can instantly recognize some of these barcodes as
indication of a potentially pathogenic cell. These pathogenic barcode proteins are
called...
Note: This is asking about the proteins, not the receptors that detect them. -
ANSWER-MAMPS
____-like receptors can recognize pathogen proteins on the outside surface of the
cells, while ____-like receptors can recognize similar proteins inside the cell. -
ANSWER-toll/NOD
Which type of white blood cells nonspecifically seek out cells with abnormal MHCI
signatures. Once detected, they are destroyed by poking holes in the membrane. -
ANSWER-Natural Killer Cells
Peyer's patches house this type of cell that can sample bacteria from the lining of
the gut. - ANSWER-M cells
