Tetanus (commonly known as lockjaw) is a severe illness thatcauses painful muscle spasms and convulsions and can leadto death. If adults are advised to get a tetanus booster shotabout once every 10 years, what is the probable life span ofthe tetanus-detecting memory B-lymphocytes?
Which statements are true? Explain why or why not.1 T cells whose receptors strongly bind a self-pep-tide–MHC complex are killed off in peripheral lymphoidorgans when they encounter the self peptide on an anti-gen-presenting dendritic cell. 2 To guarantee that the antigen-presenting cells inthe thymus will display a complete repertoire of self pep-tides to allow elimination of self-reactive T cells, the thy-mus recruits dendritic cells from all over the body. 3 The antibody diversity created by the combinato-rial joining of V, D, and J segments by V(D)J recombinationpales in comparison to the enormous diversity created bythe random gain and loss of nucleotides at V, D, and J join-ing sites.

Rh-D negative individuals generatean immunne response when they are exposed to the Rh-D antigen. However, imcompatibility in the ABO blood group system occurs naturally in the absenceof exposure to the Aor B antigen in the blood from another individuals. Why do individuals produce an immune response the first time they encounnter the A or B antigen as an adult?
The T lymphocytes as macrophages, secrete a number of polypeptides (cytokines) generally called lymphokines that serve as autocrine regulators of the immune system.a. Identify any five (5) lymphokines and explain their functions.b. Briefly state a function for each of the following immune cells. Monocytes Mast Cells B Lymphocytes Cytotoxic, T Lymphocytes Helper T Lymphocytes
Explain why chemotherapy and radiation may berecommended following surgery for breast cancer evenwhen no lymph nodes appear to be involved.
Outline the functions of the lymphatic system and describe theactionsof associated lymphatic tissues such as MALT and GALT.
Thymus: (a) the functional morphology (structure, cellular composition/arrangement, and related functions) of the thymus; and (b) each step in the T cell maturation process.
Discuss mode of action of both T cells and B cells in lymphatic system.
True/False: Unlike innate immune responses, adaptive immune responses are initiated in secondary lymphoid organs. However, the innate immune response to an infection in a tissue has a pivotal role in inducing T-cell responses in the nearest lymph node by activating tissue dendritic cells and inducing their migration to the lymph node.
