1. The principal function of the immune system is:
d d d d d d d
a. Defense against cancer d d
b. Repair of injured tissues d d d
c. Defense against microbial infections d d d
d. Prevention of inflammatory diseases d d d
e. Protection against environmental toxins d d d
ANS: C
The immune system has evolved in the setting of selective pressures imposed by
d d d d d d d d d d d d
microbial infections. Although immune responses to cancer may occur, the concept that
d d d d d d d d d d d d
―immunosurveillance‖ against cancer is a principal function of the immune system is
d d d d d d d d d d d d
controversial. Repair of injured tissues may be a secondary consequence of the
d d d d d d d d d d d d
immune responses and inflammation. Although the immune system has regulatory features
d d d d d d d d d d d
that are needed to prevent excessive inflammation, prevention of inflammatory
d d d d d d d d d d
diseases is not a

primary function. The immune system can protect against microbial toxins, but it generally
d d d d d d d d d d d d
does not offer protection against toxins of nonbiologic origin.

2. Which of the following infectious diseases was prevented by the first
d d d d d d d d d d
successful vaccination?

a. Polio
b. Tuberculosis
c. Smallpox
d. Tetanus
e. Rubella
ANS: C
In 1798, Edward Jenner reported the first intentional successful vaccination, which

was against smallpox in a boy, using material from the cowpox pustules of a milkmaid.

In 1980, smallpox was reported to be eradicated worldwide by a vaccination

3. Which of the following is a unique property of the adaptive immune system?

a. Highly diverse repertoire of specificities for antigens d d d d d d

e. Responses that have the same kinetics and magnitude on repeated exposure to the d d d d d d d d d d d d
same microbe d d
ANS: A
, Highly diverse repertoires of specificities for antigens are found only in T and B
d d d d d d d d d d d d d
lymphocytes, which are the central cellular components of the adaptive immune
d d d d d d d d d d d
system. Both the innate and the adaptive immune systems use cell-associated and

soluble receptors to recognize microbes, display some degree of self-nonself

the adaptive immune response becomes more rapid and of greater magnitude; this

4. Antibodies and T lymphocytes are the respective mediators of which two types of

immunity?
d
a. Innate and adaptive d d
b. Passive and active d d
c. Specific and nonspecific d d
d. Humoral and cell-mediated d d
e. Adult and neonatal d d
ANS: D
Both B and T lymphocytes are principal components of adaptive immunity. B
d d d d d d d d d d d
lymphocytes produce antibodies, which are the recognition and effector molecules of
d d d d d d d d d d d
d humoral immune responses to extracellular pathogens. T cells recognize and promote

immunity both can be mediated by either B or T lymphocytes. Specific immunity

e. Cytotoxic T lymphocytes and target cells d d d d d
ANS: A
T cells can be classified into effector subsets that perform different effector functions.
d d d d d d d d d d d d
Most effector T cells are either helper T lymphocytes, which enhance the responses

of other immune cells, including phagocytes and B cells, to infections, or

cytotoxic T lymphocytes, which directly kill infected cells. Natural killer cells are

not T lymphocytes.

ANS: D
Humoral immune responses are antibody-mediated immune responses, and all antibodies
