Which of the following best describes superantigens? O Superantigens are a class of antibodies that act as antigens presented by MHCII of antigen- presenting cells to overstimulate almost 30% of the T cells of the immune system, which overexpress proinflammatory cytokines leading to immunopathology that can result in multiple organ failures. O Superantigens are a class of antigens that can overstimulate almost 30% of the T cells of the immune system, which overexpress proinflammatory cytokines leading to immunopathology that can result in multiple organ failures. O Superantigens are a class of antigens that can overstimulate the B cells to produce a large number of non-specific antibodies that attack cells in our body leading to immunopathology and multiple organ failure. O Superantigens are a class of antigens that can overstimulate almost 30% of the B cells of the immune system, which overexpress proinflammatory cytokines leading to immunopathology that can result in multiple organ failures.

Which of the followings is molecular pathology associated with ADA mutations that cause immunodeficiency? a) accumulation of deoxyadenosine and its precursors S-adenosylhomocysteine and deoxyadenosine triphosphate (dATP) with toxic effects on immature lymphocytes, b)accumulation of deoxyguanosine and deoxyguanosine triphosphate, with toxic effects on immature lymphocytes
Which of the following is true about innate immune system? Check all that apply. PAMPs recognize pathogen recognition receptors (PRRs) such as TLRs, NLRs and RLRs present on/in host cells TLRs that are expressed on cell surface are mostly recognized by viruses, whereas intracellular TLRs are recognized by bacteria PRRs can induce inflammatory response, opsonization and phagocytosis Pattern associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) are molecules such as CpG DNA, cytosolic dsDNA and RNAs made by the host cell
In which of the following ways are T-cell receptors distinct from immunoglobulins? (Select all that apply.) a. T-cell receptors are generated through somatic recombination. b. The T-cell repertoire encompasses a very large degree of diversity. c. T-cell receptors are never secreted subsequent to antigen encounter. d. The variable region of T-cell receptors contains complementarity-determining regions that interact with antigen. e. T-cell receptors are used solely for the purpose of antigen recognition and not for effector function.
Several vaccines against viral infections are made by isolating purified surface proteins of the viral particle, mixing them with an adjuvant to stimulate an innate immune response, and injecting the mixture into people. Two examples of this are the vaccine against Hepatitis B virus, and the vaccine against Human Papilloma Virus (the ‘cervical cancer’ vaccine). One interesting property of vaccines of this type (known as ‘subunit vaccines’) is that there is a requirement for a CD4 T cell response to the vaccine antigen in order to generate antibodies to the innocuous protein in the vaccine. In the case of the Hepatitis B vaccine, the viral protein included in the vaccine is the Hepatitis B surface antigen (HepB-SAg), a protein that is approximately 200 amino acids in length. The graph in Figure Q4.27 shows the data from immunizing individuals with this vaccine, and monitoring their production of protective antibody responses to the viral protein. a) What results would be predicted if…
Which of the following statements about innate lymphoid cells is true? (ONE ANSWER) Require the transcription factor IL-7 for development and express MHC-II Require the transcription factor ID2 for development and produce different cytokines depending on the ILC subset (ILC1, ILC2, or ILC3) Are considered part of the adaptive immune system Express lymphocyte antigen receptors that require V(D)J recombination Are derived from common innate progenitor (CIG) cells
The antibody surface involved in antigen binding varies depending on the size and nature of the antigen. This surface can be concave or flat, and sometimes, can have extended protrusions. This is accomplished by: Flexibility in the hinge regions of the antibody allowing rotation of the antigen-binding sites Some antibodies using V region framework sequences instead of the CDRs to bind antigen The ability of different CDR sequences to form many structurally distinct shapes and surfaces The ability of the same heavy chain to pair with different light chains The differential usage of κ versus λ light chains, as κ chains form concave
The figure below shows antibodies bound to repetitive epitopes on the surface of a bacterial pathogen. Even though all of these epitopes are identical, not all of them have antibodies bound to them. The most likely explanation for this failure of antibodies to bind to every possible epitope on the surface of the pathogen is: There is an insufficient amount of antibody to saturate all the epitopes. The pathogen has an immune evasion strategy to avoid antibody binding to all epitopes. Some of the epitopes cannot bind antibody due to steric hindrance. The antibodies are only able to bind when both antigen-binding sites are engaged on the pathogen surface. The epitopes on the pathogen are not all in the same conformation, so not all will bind the same antibody.
Which of the following is NOT an event that can result in an autoimmune disease? Which of the following is NOT an event that can result in an autoimmune disease? binding of a T cell to an antigen without receiving a co-stimulatory signal activation of self-reactive lymphocytes that survived negative selection genetic mutations causing changes in the structure of self-antigens cross-reaction of antibodies produced against foreign antigens with self-antigens
In a set of experiments, T cells from wild-type (WT) or bm12 mice were mixed in vitro with antigen-presenting cells (APCs), in the presence or absence of the superantigen staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB), and T cell proliferation was measured. The data from these experiments are shown in the figure below. What is the explanation for the results in Rows 1–4 of the table?. Why does the T cell response to SEB (Rows 5–8) show a different pattern than the response to bovine insulin? Note: Epitope mapping studies identified amino acid residues 1–14 of the bovine insulin A chain as the peptide recognized by CD4 T cells from wild-type mice.

All of the following statements regarding immunoglobulin gene rearrangement are true except a. Non-B cells retain their chromatin containing the immunoglobulin loci in a ‘closed’ configuration. b. T-cells never transcribe immunoglobulin genes. c. There is only one promoter on the heavy-chain locus that is 5ʹ of the V segments. d. Pax-5, a transcription factor, interacts with enhancer sequences positioned 3ʹ of the heavy-chain C-region genes. e. Transcription of immunoglobulin loci precedes gene rearrangement.
What is the advantage (in terms of having an effective immune system) of having gene segments that need to be recombined, instead of pre-formed genes for the Heavy and Light chains of immunoglobulins, and the α and β chains of the TCR?
