Many physicians prefer mother's milk over cow's milk for infants. This is because mother's milk has the following property not found in cow's milk.
1. | Antibodies against human disease |
2. | Proteins for growing human muscle |
3. | More essential amino acids |
4. | MHCs for maturing the infant's immune system |
Opsonization :
1. | is the killing of target cells by cytotoxic T cells. |
2. | is the secretory component of IgA. |
3. | helps increase phagocytosis. |
4. | is the interaction that allows IgG to cross the placenta. |
The epitope is the part of the :
1. | antibody that binds to the antigen. |
2. | antibody that binds to the T helper cell. |
3. | antigen that is bound by the antibody. |
4. | hypervariable region of the antibody. |
What type of immunity is induced by the hepatitis B vaccine?
1. naturally acquired active immunity.
2. naturally acquired passive immunity.
3. artificially acquired active immunity.
4. artificially acquired passive immunity.
Besides helper T cells, what are two other types of cells that HIV infects?
1. | macrophages and brain cells |
2. | B cells and liver cells |
3. | plasma cells and neutrophils |
4. | cytotoxic T cells and brain cells |
When searching for a donor for an organ transplant, doctors try to match the __________ of the donor and recipient as closely as possible.
1. | antibodies | 2. | blood type |
3. | MHC proteins |
4. | Leukocytes |
In a series of immune system experiments, the thymus glands were removed from baby mice. Which of the following would you predict as a likely result?
1. | The mice suffered from numerous allergies. |
2. | The mice never developed cancerous tumors. |
3. | The mice suffered from autoimmune diseases. |
4. | The mice readily accepted tissue transplants. |
The antigen-binding sites of an antibody molecule are formed from the molecule's variable regions. Why are these regions described as variable?
1. | They can change their shapes to fit different antigens. |
2. | They change their shapes when they bind to an antigen. |
3. | Their specific shapes are unimportant. |
4. | The amino acid sequences of these regions vary widely among antibodies from different B cells. |
Chemicals produced by virus-infected cells that alert neighboring cells to prepare a defense are called:
(1) antibodies
(2) interferons
(3) cytokines
(4) antigens
The earlier concept of Health was
1. | A state of body and mind |
2. | Where there was a balance of certain humor |
3. | A state of mind, body, and heart |
4. | More than one option |
