1. | Malaria | 2. | Hemophilia |
3. | AIDS | 4. | Hepatitis |
What is incorrect regarding innate immunity?
1. | It is present at the time of birth |
2. | Physiological barriers prevent microbial growth |
3. | Natural killers, a cellular barrier, are a type of monocyte |

Which of the following cells can phagocytose microbes only in tissues?
1. | Neutrophil | 2. | Natural killer cells |
3. | Macrophages | 4. | Monocytes |
Interferons are secreted by:
1. | Virus infected cells | 2. | The viruses themselves |

What word correctly denotes an enhanced reaction of the body's immune system to an antigen which is related to one previously encountered?
1. | Booster | 2. | Primary |
3. | Anamnestic | 4. | Magnified |
Anamnestic response in acquired immunity is due to the fact that it is:
1. | characterized by memory | 2. | pathogen specific |
3. | huge in magnitude | 4. | due to lymphocytes |
B cells:
1. | Do not produce antibodies but help T cells produce them |
2. | Are pathogen specific but do not retain the memory of previous encounters |
3. | Lack ability to distinguish between self and non-self |
4. | Are involved in humoral immune response |

In an antibody molecule, an antigen binding site is located:
1. In the constant portion
2. At the C – terminus of a heavy chain
3. Between a light and a heavy chain
4. Between two heavy chains
