Questions and Answers

What is the primary response of the body when it comes into contact with a virulent strain of MBT?

The body is sensitized to the pathogen and the reaction of cellular anti-tuberculosis immunity is formed.

What is the role of sensitization in the development of cellular anti-tuberculosis immunity?

Sensitization allows the body to recognize and respond to the pathogen, leading to the formation of cellular anti-tuberculosis immunity.

What is the significance of cellular anti-tuberculosis immunity in protecting against tuberculosis?

Cellular anti-tuberculosis immunity provides protection against tuberculosis by mounting a specific response to the pathogen and preventing infection.

What is the consequence of the body's failure to form a reaction of cellular anti-tuberculosis immunity when exposed to a virulent strain of MBT?

<p>The failure to form a reaction of cellular anti-tuberculosis immunity can lead to the development of active tuberculosis.</p> Signup and view all the answers

What is the relationship between sensitization and the formation of cellular anti-tuberculosis immunity?

<p>Sensitization is a prerequisite for the formation of cellular anti-tuberculosis immunity, as it enables the body to recognize and respond to the pathogen.</p> Signup and view all the answers
