Questions and Answers

What is the role of T cell receptor (TCR) and B cell receptor (BCR) on T and B cells, respectively?

They produce antibodies against antigens

They help in antigen presentation

They assist in immune response initiation

They carry antigen receptors on their surface (correct)

Why does random rearrangement of genes for the variable region of receptor molecules occur?

To increase the rate of antigen uptake

To produce receptors with a wide range of antigen binding sites (correct)

To induce apoptosis in lymphocytes

To decrease the specificity of T and B cells

How is an immune response initiated in T cells?

By exposure to cytokines

By contact with antigen presenting cells (APCs) (correct)

By interaction with B cells only

By direct activation through antigens
