Questions and Answers

What is a key characteristic that differentiates innate immunity from adaptive immunity?

  • Tailored responses to specific pathogens
  • Immediate, general protective mechanisms (correct)
  • Long-term memory of pathogens
  • Rapid antigen elimination
  • What is the primary role of antigen-presenting cells in the immune system?

  • Directly killing pathogenic cells
  • Inducing necrosis pathways
  • Stimulating the adaptive immune response (correct)
  • Stimulating phagocytosis
  • What is the primary role of MHC Class II molecules in the immune system?

  • To release cytokines in the absence of an antigen
  • To present antigens to T cells on antigen-presenting cells (correct)
