Antibodies specific to coronavirus that causes COVID-19 were transferred to unborn babies of women who had been infected by COVID-19 during pregnancy. This is an example of artificial passive immunity.
True
False
Innate immune response is targeted towards a specific group of pathogens.
True
False
Pathogens engulfed by macrophages are degraded by enzymes present in the cytoplasm of the macrophage.
True
False
Antigen presenting cells (APC) present antigens on MHC class I to naïve CD4 T cells and B cells.
True
False
B cell maturation occurs in the blood whereas T cell maturation occurs in the trachea.
True
False
One of the signals required for the activation of naive CD4 T cells is the binding of CD28 protein on CD4 T cells with CD80 protein on the APC.
True
False
Cytotoxic-T cells release granzymes and perforin to kill cells infected by pathogen.
True
False
During B cell clonal selection and expansion, cells with a very high affinity for the antigen will divide and differentiate into plasma cells.
True
False
Antibodies are glycoproteins with a tertiary structure.
True
False
The B cell receptors of a B cell and the antibodies released by that B cell after activation recognise different antigens.
True
False
IgG is the first class/type of antibody produced during a humoral response.
True
False
Somatic recombination of the heavy and light chain genes of B cells occurs during mRNA splicing.
True
False
Somatic hypermutation allows antibodies to recognise a wider range of antigens.
True
False
Class switching involves changes made to the DNA segments coding for constant region of the heavy chain.
True
False
