The Adaptive Immune System: The Mechanism for Cell-Mediated Immunity

Self Quiz for The Adaptive Immune System: The Steps Involved in Cell-Mediated Immunity

Study the material in this section and then write out the answers to these questions.
Do not just click on the answers and write them out. This will not test your understanding of this tutorial.

1. Match the cells and cellular products below with the best description of their role in cell-mediated immunity in the body.

_____ Degrade antigens and bind epitopes to MHC-II molecules for presentation to naive T4-lymphocytes; abundant in lymphoid tissue. (ans)
_____ Degrade antigens and bind epitopes to MHC-I molecules for presentation to naive T8- lymphocytes; abundant in lymphoid tissue. (ans)
_____ Recognize peptide epitopes bound to MHC-! on antigen-presenting cells. (ans)
_____ Organelles that degrade endogenous antigens into peptides. (ans)
_____ Bind to MHC-I molecules with attached epitopes on the surface of "foreign" human cells (e.g., infected cells and mutant cells) causing apoptosis or lysis with perforin and granzymes. (ans)
_____ A variety of hormone-like proteins produced by activated T4-lymphocytes, T8-lymphocytes, and APCs which indirectly help protect the body by influencing the function of other cells involved in adaptive immune defenses and innate immune defenses. (ans)
_____ Secrete interleukin-2, interferon-gamma, and TNF which stimulates the cell-mediated immune response that help the body destroy cells infected with intracellular pathogens. (ans)
_____ Enable an elevated secondary response upon future exposure to the original antigen. (ans)
