  1. When Joe was a young college student with no debts and a strong back, he worked his way around the world. During the course of his time abroad, he went to Turkey where all visitors are required to be immunized for tuberculosis. Joe's backpack with all his immunization records was stolen somewhere around Istanbul, and he tried pretty successfully to forget about ever having been in Turkey. Ten years later after 150 unsuccessful job applications, Joe applied to work at the Extra Healthy Health Corporation and was administered a TB skin test during the course of the physical administered to all new workers. Joe's TB test was undeniably positive. Despite a clean chest x-ray, the doctors at the Extra Healthy Health Corporation were adamant that Joe should take a year long course of intensive antibiotics despite the fact that these antibiotics are very rough on the liver and Joe's tests reveal that his liver is not in wonderful shape (he felt it his duty to sample all local alcoholic concoctions during his travels). You have known Joe since long before he was a young college student. You DO remember that Joe went to Turkey and had a TB vaccination. Joe has come to you for advice. What should you tell him?
    1. "Joe, TB can kill you. If Larry Hagman can get a new liver, so can you. Take the antibiotics."
    2. "Beats me how you got TB. Hope it's not that antibiotic resistant kind. By the way, my kids won't be visiting your kids for the next year."
    3. "You wimp! Are you going to let those knucklehead doctors run your life just because of a little bitty inflamed spot? Don't take antibiotics unless you are coughing up blood."
    4. "Joe, didn't you have to get a TB vaccination when you went into Turkey on that crazy trip around the world? Why don't you see if you can get a duplicate record of the immunization and see if the Extra Healthy Health people would settle for an annual chest x-ray to check for TB?"
    5. "Well, Joe if I were you, I'd be sure my will was up to date and that the premiums were paid up on my life insurance policy. After all, whether or not you have TB, you really need this job so it looks like poverty and TB, or a few paychecks before liver failure from the antibiotics. Stress, TB or liver failure is bound to kill you." [top]

    1. humoral immunity
    2. cellular immunity
    3. complement action
    4. immunoglobulin action
    5. response to subsequent infection by that Ag [top]
  1. Complement proteins are most similar (in what they do to cells) to:
    1. cytokines
    2. clotting proteins
    3. albumin
    4. perforin
    5. immunoglobulins [top] [50-59] [100-109]

  1. Why would a man’s immune cells determine (falsely) that his own sperm are foreign?
    1. sperm are first formed during the time immunocompetency is developing
    2. sperm are not present during development of immunocompetency
    3. sperm antigens are similar to those on normal gut bacteria [top]
  1. When do most of the events of immunocompetency development occur?
    1. fetal development
    2. childhood
    3. puberty
    4. ongoing process throughout life[top]
  1. The initiating protein in the complement cascade binds ("fixes") to:
    1. self molecules
    2. antigens
    3. variable region of the antibody
    4. constant region of the antibody
    5. perforin [top]
  1. Describe the leukocytes, including which type is most numerous, least numerous, largest, differences in staining characteristics, differences in organelles, and of course differences in function. [top]
  1. Explain the following (well-labeled, accurate diagrams will be sufficient):
    1. the structure of antigen receptors on immune cells
    2. the structure of antibodies, including chemical structure, and names and functions of specific regions on an antibody molecule
    3. list the immunoglobulin classes, explain which general region of the molecule differs in structure from class to class, and one distinguishing characteristic of each [top]
  1. A person with type O blood:
    1. has RBCs that bear the O antigen
    2. has anti-O antibody circulating in the plasma
    3. can receive blood transfusions from donors of any blood type
    4. is most likely to be RH-
    5. lacks antigens of the ABO class[top]
  1. Describe hemolytic disease of the newborn. Your answer should include the following - what causes jaundice? is there is difference in risk depending on birth order? do both rh+ and rh- mothers need to be equally concerned? do ABO incompatibilities matter at all? [top]
  1. The lymphatic system is necessary because:
    1. osmotic pressure is higher than hydrostatic pressure in the capillary beds
    2. hydrostatic pressure is higher than osmotic pressure in the capillary beds
    3. capillaries do not allow water to diffuse into the blood
    4. the presence of albumin reduces the inward diffusion of water into the blood
    5. all blood must be filtered [top]
  1. TRUE or FALSE: all lymphoid organs filter lymph
    1. TRUE
    2. FALSE [top]
  1. Lymph nodes contain:
    1. B & T lymphocytes only
    2. B & T lymphocytes and macrophages
    3. macrophages only
    4. B lymphocytes and macrophages only
    5. T lymphocytes and macrophages only [top] [110-119]

  1. What do the immune and endocrine systems have in common?
    1. both regulate cells through secreted chemicals
    2. both involve specific binding of molecules to membrane receptor molecules
    3. both are classified as organ systems
    4. a & b
    5. b & c [top]
  1. What ultimately determines whether or not a particular antigen will trigger an immune response?
    1. how potentially harmful the antigen is
    2. prior exposure to or infection with that antigen
    3. the genes of the infected individual
    4. how the antigen enters the body [top]
  1. What do perforin and complement proteins have in common?
    1. both tear holes in pathogens or infected/altered self cells

    3. both are associated primarily with the humoral defenses
    4. both are associated primarily with cell-mediated defenses
    5. both specialize in elimination of bacteria [top]
  1. The cell-mediated immune system specializes in eliminating:
    1. all pathogens
    2. bacteria
