1. Neutrophils: A
A) are phagocytic cells.
B) produce histamine.
C) produce antibodies.

2. Which cells are required to process and present anti- B
gens from foreign material as the initial step in the
immune response?
A) T-helper cells
B) Macrophages
C) Eosinophils
D) Monocytes
3. Humoral immunity is mediated by: C
A) natural killer cells.
B) T lymphocytes (T cells).
C) B lymphocytes (B cells).

4. A secondary immune response differs from the prima- A
ry immune response in that:
A) it is more rapid than the primary response and re-
sults in higher antibody levels.
B) it is slower than the primary response and doesn't
change the antibody levels.
C) it occurs at the same time as the primary response
but results in a decrease in antibodies.

tivation.
B) immediately secrete antibodies following the first
exposure to antigen.
