Short Answer Questions
How do B cells and T cells differ in their roles in the immune system?
Answer: B cells are primarily involved in humoral immunity, producing antibodies that target
extracellular pathogens, whereas T cells are involved in cell-mediated immunity, targeting
intracellular pathogens.
What is the difference between innate and adaptive immunity in terms of response time and
specificity?
Answer: Innate immunity provides a rapid, non-specific response, while adaptive immunity offers
a slower, highly specific response with memory capabilities.
What is the primary function of Helper T cells (CD4+) in the immune system?
Answer: Helper T cells (CD4+) coordinate the immune response by secreting cytokines that
activate other immune cells.
Explain how innate and adaptive immunity interact in the immune response.
Answer: Innate immunity provides the initial response to pathogens and informs the adaptive
immune system, which provides a more specific and long-lasting response.
Explain the concept of 'antigen-presenting cells' and their role in the immune system.
Answer: Antigen-presenting cells, such as dendritic cells and macrophages, process and present
antigens to T cells, crucial for initiating the adaptive immune response.
How does the immune system distinguish between self and non-self?
Answer: The immune system uses receptors and selection processes to distinguish self from non-
self, eliminating cells that react strongly to self-antigens.
Explain the role of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules in the immune response.
Answer: MHC molecules are critical for immune response as they present peptide fragments
from pathogens to T cells. MHC Class I molecules present to CD8+ T cells, initiating cytotoxic
responses, while MHC Class II molecules present to CD4+ T cells, leading to helper T cell
activation and subsequent immune responses.
Describe how antigen processing and presentation work in the context of adaptive immunity.
Answer: Antigen processing involves the breakdown of pathogen-derived proteins into peptide
fragments, which are then loaded onto MHC molecules. These MHC-peptide complexes are
presented on the cell surface, where they can be recognized by T cells, leading to the activation
of specific immune responses.
