1. Two of the main, early theories proposed to explain how antigen-
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


specific antibodies develop were the instructional theory and the selective theory. How did the two d
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


iffer? Which was ultimately shown to be CORRECT?
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx




CORRECT ANSWER: The selective theory says that, when an antigen receptor binds with an antige
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


n, the cell becomes activated (or the cell is selected to proliferate and secrete more copies of the rece
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


ptor). The instructional theory says that the antigen receptor molds itself to the antigen. The selective
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


theory was shown to be correct.
xx xx xx xx xx xx




2. Often, serendipity plays a role in significant scientific discoveries. In your own words, explain h
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


ow serendipity led Pasteur to discover a cholera vaccine.
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx




CORRECT ANSWER: Pasteur developed the vaccine in chickens, which were in short supply. He c
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


hallenged groups of chickens with cholera bacteria—
xx xx xx xx xx xx


some of which were previously exposed to an attenuated version of cholera bacteria. Only the previo
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


usly exposed animals were protected from a new challenge, which led to the use of weakened pathog
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


ens as vaccines.xx xx




3. Despite its having been eradicated on a global scale, smallpox is presently considered a poten
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


tial bioterrorism threat. Why? Use evidence to support your answer.
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx




CORRECT ANSWER: After eradication was achieved, smallpox vaccination programs largely ended.
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


As populations continued to grow over time, an ever-
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


increasing percentage of the human population remains unvaccinated and thus, is still susceptible to t
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


he disease.xx




4. Prior to 1999, it was claimed that a thimerosal additive in vaccines was contributing to the rising
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


incidence of autism. If the claims were true, what resultant trend might you expect to observe in th
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


e rate of autism once thimerosal was removed from vaccines?
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx




CORRECT ANSWER: One would reasonably expect a decrease in the rate of autism. However, case
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


s of autism continued to rise after thimerosal was removed from vaccines in 2001.
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx




5. Given the discovery and development of effective antibiotics, make an argument for the continued
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


use of vaccines against bacterial pathogens. Use evidence to support your answer.
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx




CORRECT ANSWER: Antibiotics are used for treatment of disease, not typically for prevention. An
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


tibiotic treatment is not foolproof (considering the rising incidence of antibiotic resistance). Vaccines
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


are a preventative measure, and prevention is the gold standard for infectious disease control measur
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


es.

,6. You have a friend unfamiliar with immunology, and he asks you the following question: "Why do
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx x


I need the flu shot every year, but don't need an annual chickenpox vaccine?" As a student of immun
x xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


ology, how would you explain this discrepancy to your friend? Use evidence to support your answer.
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx




CORRECT ANSWER: The virus that causes the flu changes every year -
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


as a result, a new flu vaccine must be prepared each year based on a predication of the most comm
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


on forms of the virus likely to be encountered. Vaccines are specific in the type of pathogen against
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


which they protect, and protection against one type does not guarantee protection against pathogens t
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


hat are closely-related.

7. Provide one benefit and one drawback of generating random recognition receptors during
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


the development of B cells.
xx xx xx xx




CORRECT ANSWER: A benefit is having the capacity to recognize and respond to diverse pathogen
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


s as they evolve. A drawback is that some recognition receptors could potentially recognize and targ
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


et host antigens.

8. A portion of our immune systems' white blood cells is constantly circulating throughout the body
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx x


via circulation and lymphatics. What is the benefit of such circulation?
x xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx




CORRECT ANSWER: The circulation of the white blood cells allows for a more comprehensive sur
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


veillance of the body for the presence of potential pathogens. A significant portion of the human body
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


is constantly exposed to potential microbial pathogens.

xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


ne experiencing an inflammatory response.
xx xx xx xx




CORRECT ANSWER: Redness, swelling, heat, pain. Someone experiencing inflammation might have
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx x


localized swelling and redness or itching or may be experiencing faintness due to a lowering of bloo

11. Upon receiving immune serum as a treatment for a venomous snake bite, would the recipien
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


t be immune from future bites of the same species?
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx




CORRECT ANSWER: In the short- xx xx xx xx


term, probably, as the serum contains protective antibodies against the venom. In the long-
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


term, no, as serum treatment is a form of passive immunity. Passive immunity does not generate lo

12. Provide one common feature of and two differences between B-cell receptors and PRRs.
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx




CORRECT ANSWER: A common feature is that they both are used to recognize foreign antigens. A
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


B-
xx


cell receptor is more selective than a PRR. The DNA that encodes for a PRR in an individual is inhe
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


rited. The DNA that encodes for a mature B-
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


cell receptor from an individual is not passed on to offspring.
