Question

Place the following statements that describe the 5 steps in an adaptive immune response in the order in which they occur.

-Long lived-immune cells allow the second response to a given microbe to be stronger and faster than the first response

-Adaptive immune cells are born in the bone marrow, then mature in either the bone marrow or the thymus

-Adaptive immune cells use specific receptor proteins to bind to antigens very specifically

-Intracellular signaling pathways are initiated, causing the adaptive immune cell to change cell division, gene expression, and protein translation

-Adaptive immune cells kill invading microbes, either directly or indirectly

Which of the following statements describe Class I MHC molecules, and which describe Class II MHC molecules?

This molecule is expressed on all nucleated cells.

This molecule interacts with proteins expressed on the surface of Cytotoxic T cells.

This molecule is expressed on the surface of Antigen presenting cells.

This molecule is important for activating Helper T cells

This molecule is expressed on the surface of B cells.

This molecule binds to antigens that come from primarily intracellular pathogens

Class I MHC.

Class II MHC

Both Class I and Class II MHC.

Match each immune cell with the method it uses to neutralize a pathogenic microbe that has infected a human

Cytotoxic T cell

Helper T cell

B cell

Natural Killer Cell

Macrophage

Basophil/Mast Cell

kills infected human cells after recognizing antigens displayed on MHC class 1

does not directly kill microbes; after recognition of a specific antigen displayed on MHC Class 2, it secretes molecules that help other cells to do so.

phagocytoses microbes after recognizing specific antigens; secretes antibodies

kills infected human cells after recognizing PAMPs on infected cell membranes

Phagocytoses microbes after recognizing PAMPs; acts as an Antigen Presenting Cell to activate another type of immune cell

Does not directly kill microbes; secretes histamine to initiate an inflammatory response.
