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


specific antibodies develop were the instructional theory and the selective theory. How did the two dif
sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx


fer? Which was ultimately shown to be CORRECT?
sx sx sx sx sx sx sx




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


the cell becomes activated (or the cell is selected to proliferate and secrete more copies of the receptor
sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx


). The instructional theory says that the antigen receptor molds itself to the antigen. The selective theo
sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx


ry was shown to be correct.

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


w serendipity led Pasteur to discover a cholera vaccine.
sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx




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


llenged groups of chickens with cholera bacteria—
sx sx sx sx sx sx


some of which were previously exposed to an attenuated version of cholera bacteria. Only the previous
sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx


ly exposed animals were protected from a new challenge, which led to the use of weakened pathogens
sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx


as vaccines.

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


al bioterrorism threat. Why? Use evidence to support your answer.
sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx




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


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


increasing percentage of the human population remains unvaccinated and thus, is still susceptible to th
sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx


e disease.

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


ncidence of autism. If the claims were true, what resultant trend might you expect to observe in the ra
sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx


te of autism once thimerosal was removed from vaccines?
sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx




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


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

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


se of vaccines against bacterial pathogens. Use evidence to support your answer.
sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx




CORRECT ANSWER: Antibiotics are used for treatment of disease, not typically for prevention. Anti
sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx


biotic treatment is not foolproof (considering the rising incidence of antibiotic resistance). Vaccines are
sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx s


a preventative measure, and prevention is the gold standard for infectious disease control measures.

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


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


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




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


as a result, a new flu vaccine must be prepared each year based on a predication of the most common
sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx s


forms of the virus likely to be encountered. Vaccines are specific in the type of pathogen against whic
x sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx


h they protect, and protection against one type does not guarantee protection against pathogens that ar
sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx


e closely-related.

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


he development of B cells.
sx sx sx sx




CORRECT ANSWER: A benefit is having the capacity to recognize and respond to diverse pathogens
sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx


as they evolve. A drawback is that some recognition receptors could potentially recognize and target h
sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx


ost antigens. sx




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


ia circulation and lymphatics. What is the benefit of such circulation?
sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx




CORRECT ANSWER: The circulation of the white blood cells allows for a more comprehensive surv
sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx


eillance of the body for the presence of potential pathogens. A significant portion of the human body is
sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx s


constantly exposed to potential microbial pathogens.

10. What are the hallmarks of inflammation? Describe the physical characteristics of someon

e experiencing an inflammatory response.
sx sx sx sx




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

ocalized swelling and redness or itching or may be experiencing faintness due to a lowering of blood

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


be immune from future bites of the same species?
sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx




CORRECT ANSWER: In the short- sx sx sx sx


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


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

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




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


B-
cell receptor is more selective than a PRR. The DNA that encodes for a PRR in an individual is inheri
sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx


ted. The DNA that encodes for a mature B-
sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx


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