Which one of the following statements is correct with respect of immunity ?A. Antibodies are protein molecules, each of which has four light chainsB. Rejection of a kideny graft is, the function of B-lymphocytesC. Preformed antibodies need to be injected to treat the bite by a viper snakeD.

Which one of the following statements is correct with respect of immunity ?A. Preformed antibodies need to be injected to treat the bite by a viper snakeB. The antibodies against smallpox pathogen are produced by T-lymphocytesC. Antibodies are protein molecules, each of which has four light chainsD. Rejection of a kidney graft is the function of B-lymphocytes |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - A In artificially acquired passive immunity, preformed antibody in an immune serum of some other animal is introduced into the body. As the antivenum used to treat snake bites. In this case, the body does not produce any antibodies. Antibody is a protein molecule having two light chain and two heavy chain. B-cells recognise and bind antigens and may differentiate to memory cell or plasma cells (produce antibody). T-cells causes transplant rejection. |

In which one of the following options the two examples are correctly matched with their particular type of immunity ?A. `{:("Examples" , "Tytpe of immunity"),("Polymorphonuclear leukocytes and monocytes ","Cellular barriers"):}`B. `{:("Examples" , "Tytpe of immunity"),("Anti-tetanus and anti-snake bite injections ","Active immunity"):}`C. `{:("Examples" , "Tytpe of immunity"),("Saliva in mouth and tears in eyes ","Physical barriers"):}`D. `{:("Examples" , "Tytpe of immunity"),("Mucus coating of epithelium Physiologic lining the urinogential tract and al barriers the HCl in stomach ","Physiologic al barriers"):}` |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - A Phagocytosis is an important feature of cellular innate immunity, performed by cells called phagocytes that engulf or eat pathogens or foreign particles. Common examples of these phagocytes are monocytes, macrophages, neutrophil granulocytes (often referred to as polymorphonuclear leukocytes or PMN or PML, because of the varying shapes of nucleus), tissue dendritic cells, mast cells etc. Anti-tetanus and anti snake bite injections are examples of passive immunity. |

| 32. |
In which one of the following options the two examples are correctly matched with their particular type of immunity? |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - 4 Anti tetanus and anti-snake bite injections - passive immunity. Saliva & tears physiological barriers. Mucus coating - physical barrier. |

Read the following four statements (A-D) (a) Colostrum is recommended for the new born because it is rich in antigens (b) Chikengunya is caused by a Gram negative bacterium (c) Tissue culture has proved useful in obtaining virus-free plants (d) Beer is manufactured by distillation of fermented grape juice How many of the above Statements are wrongA. FourB. OneC. TwoD. Three |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - D Colostrum is rich in antibodies. Chikungunya is caused by Alphavirus and transmitted to humans by Aedes mosquito. Beer and wine are produced without distillation, whereas whisky, brandy and rum are produced by distillation. Thus three statements are wrong. |

Select the correct statement with respect to diseases and immunisationA. If due to some reason B-and T-lymphocytes are damaged, the body will not produce antibodies against a pathogen.B. Injection of dead/inactivated pathogens causes passive immunityC. Certain protozoans have been used to mass produce hepatitis B vaccineD. Injection of snake antivenom against snake bite is an example of active immunisation |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - A Using recombinant DNA technology. Hepatitis B vaccine has been produced from yeast. Injection of snake antivenom which contains preformed antiboies, is an example of passive immunisation. Injection of dead/inactivated pathogens leads to developments of active immunity. |
