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

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.
