Study Notes
Immunology Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs)
- Primary Lymphoid Organs: The thymus is a primary lymphoid organ.
- Complement Activation and Antibodies: IgM is the most effective antibody isotype for activating the classical complement pathway.
- MHC Class I Function: MHC Class I molecules present intracellular antigens to CD8+ T cells.
- Affinity Maturation Location: Affinity maturation occurs in the germinal centers of lymph nodes.
- Antibody Production: Plasma cells are the primary producers of antibodies.
- Alternative Pathway Complement Protein: C3 is the first complement protein activated in the alternative pathway.
- Membrane Attack Complex (MAC): MAC creates pores in pathogen membranes.
- TH1 Response Macrophage Activation: IFN-γ is critical for activating macrophages in a TH1 response.
- Chronic Inflammation Characteristic: Granuloma formation characterizes chronic inflammation.
- Type I Hypersensitivity Mechanism: IgE and mast cells are involved in Type I hypersensitivity.
- V(D)J Recombination Enzyme: Recombinase (RAG1/2) is responsible for V(D)J recombination in B and T cells.
- Secondary Lymphoid Organ: The spleen is a secondary lymphoid organ.
- Dendritic Cell Function: Dendritic cells present antigens to T cells.
- Classical Complement Pathway Regulation: C1 inhibitor (C1-INH) regulates the classical complement pathway.
- TH2 Cells and Immune Response: TH2 cells are involved in allergy and parasitic infections.
- CD8+ T Cell Recognition: CD8+ T cells recognize MHC Class I on target cells.
- Type III Hypersensitivity: Immune complexes mediate Type III hypersensitivity.
- Hygiene Hypothesis and Disease: Reduced exposure to pathogens can increase autoimmune and allergic diseases according to the hygiene hypothesis.
- Alternative Pathway C3b Stabilization: Properdin stabilizes C3b on pathogen surfaces in the alternative pathway.
- Histamine Production in Inflammation: Mast cells produce histamine during inflammation.
- T Regulatory (TREG) Cell Function: TREG cells suppress immune responses.
- Membrane Attack Complex (MAC) Target: The target of the MAC is the lipid bilayers of pathogens.

- Adaptive Immunity Feature: Immunological memory is a key feature of adaptive immunity.
- Complement Pathway Requiring Antibodies: The classical pathway requires antibodies.
- Acute Phase Proteins: Acute phase proteins enhance phagocytosis and inflammation.
- First Immune Cell in Acute Inflammation: Neutrophils are the first immune cells to arrive during acute inflammation.
- IL-2 Function: IL-2 promotes T cell proliferation.
- MHC Class II Antigen Processing: MHC Class II antigen processing involves lysosomal degradation of extracellular antigens.
- Rheumatoid Arthritis Lab Marker: Rheumatoid factor (RF) is associated with Rheumatoid Arthritis.
