Adaptive Immunity & Vaccination

The body's non-specific immune response to infection is

• pyroclastic

• adaptive

• innate

• intrinsic

Specificity and immunological memory are both characteristics of the ________ immune response.

• pyroclastic

• adaptive

• innate

• intrinsic

The cells that are crucial to the adaptive immune response are

• erythrocytes

• prokaryotes

• eukaryotes

• leukocytes

The process where each lymphocyte has a different receptor for a particular antigen, and is able to proliferate, creating clones of the initial lymphocyte with the specific receptor for the antigen.

• colonial selection

• clonal selection

• humoral immunity

• cell-mediated immunity

Macromolecules, such as complement proteins, and antibodies produced by B lymphocytes, are secreted into the extracellular fluid

• colonial selection

• clonal selection

• humoral immunity

• cell-mediated immunity

Involves the action of T lymphocytes and phagocytes

• colonial selection

• clonal selection

• humoral immunity

• cell-mediated immunity

Antibody-mediated immunity is also known as

• colonial selection

• clonal selection

• humoral immunity

• cell-mediated immunity

The clonal selection theory states that a specific antigen will only activate a lymphocyte with a receptor that specifically recognises that _______ The lymphocyte then proliferates into millions of exact copies.

• cytokine

• antibody

• antigen

• histamine

Are responsible for the immunity that often follows infection or vaccination.

• Memory B lymphocytes

• Plasma cells

• T lymphocytes

• Antigens

The first encounter of a T or B lymphocyte with a specific antigen is known as the

• secondary immune response

• optional immune response

• primary immune response

• precursor immune response
