HMX IMMUNOLOGY PRACTICE EXAM
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS GRADED A+
2025/2026
Which statement best describes the genes encoding receptors that recognize microbial
molecules on innate and adaptive immune cells? - ANS The genes in innate immune cells for
any one receptor type are genetically identical from cell to cell, but the genes in adaptive
immune cells are not
Which of the statements below correctly describes innate immune cells? - ANS Innate
immune cells recognize conserved pathogen-associated molecular patterns
Some of the steps of an acute inflammatory response are listed below. Which of these steps
would occur first in a given episode of inflammation? - ANS microbial molecules bind to
innate immune receptors
Which of these factors does NOT contribute to antibody diversity? - ANS millions of different
inherited antibody genes
Which of the statements below best describes the differences in antigen recognition by B cells
and T cells? - ANS B cells can recognize extracellular antigens of any kind while T cells can
only recognize complexes of peptides bound to cell surface display molecules
