MULTIPLE CHOICE k
1. The principal function of the immune system is:
k k k k k k k
a. Defense against cancer k k
b. Repair of injured tissues k k k
c. Defense against microbial infections k k k
d. Prevention of inflammatory diseases k k k
e. Protection against environmental toxins k k k
ANS: C
The immune system has evolved in the setting of selective pressures imposed by
k k k k k k k k k k k k
microbial infections. Although immune responses to cancer may occur, the concept that
k k k k k k k k k k k k
―immunosurveillance‖ against cancer is a principal function of the immune system is
k k k k k k k k k k k k
controversial. Repair of injured tissues may be a secondary consequence of the
k k k k k k k k k k k k
immune responses and inflammation. Although the immune system has regulatory features
k k k k k k k k k k k
that are needed to prevent excessive inflammation, prevention of inflammatory
k k k k k k k k k k
diseases is not a
k k k k
primary function. The immune system can protect against microbial toxins, but it generally
k k k k k k k k k k k k
does not offer protection against toxins of nonbiologic origin.
k k k k k k k k k
2. Which of the following infectious diseases was prevented by the first
k k k k k k k k k k
successful vaccination?
k k
a. Polio
b. Tuberculosis
c. Smallpox
d. Tetanus
e. Rubella
ANS: C
In 1798, Edward Jenner reported the first intentional successful vaccination, which
k k k k k k k k k k
was against smallpox in a boy, using material from the cowpox pustules of a milkmaid.
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k
In 1980, smallpox was reported to be eradicated worldwide by a vaccination
k k k k k k k k k k k k
program.
k
Effective vaccines against tetanus toxin, rubella virus, and poliovirus were developed
k k k k k k k k k k
in the 20th century and are widely used. There is no effective vaccine against
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k
Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
k k
3. Which of the following is a unique property of the adaptive immune system?
k k k k k k k k k k k k
a. Highly diverse repertoire of specificities for antigens k k k k k k
b. Self-nonself discrimination k
c. Recognition of microbial structures by both cell-associated and soluble receptors k k k k k k k k k
d. Protection against viral infections k k k
e. Responses that have the same kinetics and magnitude on repeated exposure to the k k k k k k k k k k k k
same microbe k k
ANS: A
, Highly diverse repertoires of specificities for antigens are found only in T and B
k k k k k k k k k k k k k
lymphocytes, which are the central cellular components of the adaptive immune
k k k k k k k k k k k
system. Both the innate and the adaptive immune systems use cell-associated and
k k k k k k k k k k k k
soluble receptors to recognize microbes, display some degree of self-nonself
k k k k k k k k k k
discrimination, and protect against viruses. On repeated exposure to the same microbe,
k k k k k k k k k k k k
the adaptive immune response becomes more rapid and of greater magnitude; this
k k k k k k k k k k k k
is the manifestation of memory.
k k k k k
4. Antibodies and T lymphocytes are the respective mediators of which two types of
k k k k k k k k k k k k
immunity?
k
a. Innate and adaptive k k
b. Passive and active k k
c. Specific and nonspecific k k
d. Humoral and cell-mediated k k
e. Adult and neonatal k k
ANS: D
Both B and T lymphocytes are principal components of adaptive immunity. B
k k k k k k k k k k k
lymphocytes produce antibodies, which are the recognition and effector molecules of
k k k k k k k k k k k
k humoral immune responses to extracellular pathogens. T cells recognize and promote
k k k k k k k k k k
k eradication of intracellular pathogens in cell-mediated immunity. Passive and active k k k k k k k k k
immunity both can be mediated by either B or T lymphocytes. Specific immunity
k k k k k k k k k k k k k
kis another term for adaptive immunity. Both B and T lymphocytes participate in
k k k k k k k k k k k k
kadult adaptive immunity but are still developing in the neonatal period.
k k k k k k k k k k
5. The two major functional classes of effector T lymphocytes are:
k k k k k k k k k
a. Helper T lymphocytes and cytotoxic T lymphocytes k k k k k k
b. Natural killer cells and cytoWtoWxW

cyStes k k k k
c. Memory T cells and effector T cells k k k k k k
d. Helper cells and antigen-presenting cells k k k k
e. Cytotoxic T lymphocytes and target cells k k k k k
ANS: A
T cells can be classified into effector subsets that perform different effector functions.
k k k k k k k k k k k k
Most effector T cells are either helper T lymphocytes, which enhance the responses
k k k k k k k k k k k k k
of other immune cells, including phagocytes and B cells, to infections, or
k k k k k k k k k k k k
cytotoxic T lymphocytes, which directly kill infected cells. Natural killer cells are
k k k k k k k k k k k k
not T lymphocytes.
k k k
Antigen-presenting cells usually are not T cells. Memory T cells are not effector T cells. k k k k k k k k k k k k k k
6. Which of the following cell types is required for all adaptive humoral immune responses?
k k k k k k k k k k k k k
a. Natural killer cells k k
b. Dendritic cells k
c. Cytolytic T lymphocytes k k
d. B lymphocytes k
e. Helper T lymphocytes k k
ANS: D
Humoral immune responses are antibody-mediated immune responses, and all antibodies
k k k k k k k k k
are made by B lymphocytes and no other cell type.
