Questions With Correct Answers
Which one is true for innate immunity?
A. Develop slow defense against infection
B. Recognize microbes specifically
C. Responds the same way when encounters the same microbes again
D. Attack normal host cells - answer✔C
Innate immunity:
• Functions as the first line of defense against infection (rapid).
• Responds the same way to repeat encounters with a microbe.
• Recognizes structures that are shared by various classes of microbes (nonspecific).
• Recognizes microbial structures essential for the survival and infectivity of these microbes.
• The receptors of the innate immune system are encoded by inherited genes that are identical
in all cells.
• Recognizes molecules that are released from damaged or necrotic host cells.
• Does not react against the normal host. Dose not recognize structures that are present on
normal host cells.
Adaptive immunity:
• Develop slowly, because requires expansion and proliferation of lymphocytes.
• Develop stronger responses to repeat encounters with a microbe.

• Recognizes details of microbial structures (specific).
• Antigen receptors are encoded by genes produced by somatic recombination of gene
segments, have greater diversity.
• Different lymphocyte clones express different receptors (clonal).
• Does not react against the normal host. Does not recognize structures that are present on
normal host cells. Self reactive lymphocytes undergo apoptosis during development (negative
selection).
