1) Class II MHC molecules are found on which of the following?
liver cells and macrophages in the spleen
granulocytes and microphages
red blood cells
lymphocytes and antigen-presenting cells
all body cells with a nucleus
2) Histamine increases blood flow and vascular permeability. This would account for all of the following changes that occur during inflammation except
heat of the inflamed tissue.
swelling of the inflamed tissue.
movement of defense proteins and cells into the interstitial space.
chemotaxis of phagocytes.
redness of the inflamed tissue.
3) Which of the following is not a secondary lymphoid tissue or organ?
spleen
tonsils
MALT
lymph nodes
thymus
3) All of the following are true of the primary response of humoral immunity except that
circulating antibodies undergo a gradual, sustained rise.
it depends on memory B cells.
it requires B cell differentiation into plasma cells.
it depends on antigen triggering the appropriate B cell.
it peaks 1 to 2 weeks after the initial exposure.
4) The following are steps in the cell-mediated immune
response. What is the correct sequence for these
steps?
1. Several cycles of mitosis occur.
2. Antigen is engulfed and presented by a macrophage.
3. Cytotoxic T cells migrate to focus of infection.
4. T cells with specific receptors recognize the antigen.
5. T cells differentiate into cytotoxic T cells or T memory
cells.
6. Cytotoxic T cells release perforin and/or lymphotoxin.
