2025/2026 WITH CORRECT/ACCURATE
ANSWERS
Two Types of Defense - CORRECT ANSWERS- -innate
-adaptive
Innate Defense - CORRECT ANSWERS- - comprised of Surface
Barriers (1st line-skin, mucous membrane) and Internal Defenses
(2nd line-phagocytes, fever, NK cells, Antimicrobial proteins,
Inflammation)
Adaptive Defense - CORRECT ANSWERS- -a. 3rd line defense,
Humoral Immunity (B cells) and Cellular Immunity (T cells)
Antigen - CORRECT ANSWERS- -produces mobilization and
activation of immune response
Two Types of Antigens - CORRECT ANSWERS- - Complete
-incomplete
Complete Antigen - CORRECT ANSWERS- -possess
Immunogenicity (ability to stimulate lymphocyte/antibody) and
Reactivity (ability to react with lymphocyte/ antibody)
, Incomplete Antigen - CORRECT ANSWERS- -aka Haptens, possess
reactivity not immunogenicity unless attached to protein carrier
T-Cells - CORRECT ANSWERS- -originate in 'T'hymus, receptors
are NOT antibodies
-possess Positive Selection (MHC restriction process) and
Negative Selection (prevents reaction to self-antigens)
B-Cells - CORRECT ANSWERS- -originate in 'B'one Marrow
-receptors are membrane-bound antibodies
-clonal deletion (apoptosis) and receptor editing (change self-
reactive antigen receptor)
Humoral Immunity - CORRECT ANSWERS- -Humoral Immune
Response occurs when an invading antigen encounters a naïve B
cell lymphocyte and antibodies are produced to counteract the
invader
-clonal selection
- Primary Immune Response
-Secondary Immune Response
Clonal Selection - CORRECT ANSWERS- multiplication of B cell
into an army of cells with antigen-specific receptors
