Question 1. For CD8+ T lymphocytes to recognize virally infected cells, the infected

cells must —

A. express functional HLA-DM molecules.

B. express functional transporter associated with antigen

presentation (TAP) 1 and 2 proteins.

C. have trafficked through a germinal center.

D. extinguish expression of its class I HLA molecules. - Answer✔️✔️-1. Answer: B

Explanation: In virus-infected cells, some viral proteins are degraded in the cellular

proteasome, the major cellular protein degrading organelle. TAP-1 and TAP-2 are

proteins that participate in the transport of peptide fragments from the proteasome into

the endoplasmic reticulum where they are loaded into newly synthesized class I MHC

molecules. Without TAP-1 or TAP-2, viral peptides are not loaded into class I

molecules, and recognition by CD8+ T cells does not occur. HLA-DM is required for

peptide loading into class II MHC molecules, permitting recognition by CD4+ T cells. B-

lymphocytes must traffic through the germinal center in order to undergo somatic

mutation and differentiation to high affinity antibody producing cells. Trafficking through

the germinal center is not required for CD81 T cells devel- opment or differentiation.

Some viruses down-regulate (extinguish) expression of the class I prote

Question 2. The HLA invariant chain —

A. controls loading of viral peptide fragments into class I HLA molecules.

B. is delivered to HLA molecules in endosomes.

C. prevents loading of antigenic peptides into class II HLA

molecules until it is proteolytically degraded.

D. differs in primary amino acid sequence among different

subjects in the population. - Answer✔️✔️-2. Answer: C

Explanation: Loading of peptide fragment from exogenous antigens into class II HLA

molecules occurs when the acidified endosome fuses with the class II loading

compartment. This fusion results in the proteolytic degradation of the invariant chain

that then allows peptides to associate with the class II molecules. The invariant chain is

not associated with peptide loading into class I HLA molecules. The invariant chain

associates with the newly synthesized class II HLA molecules in the endoplasmic

reticulum. The invariant chain is designated as ÔinvariantÕ because is shows very low

sequence variability in different individuals in the population.

Question 3. For TH cells, a functional T-cell receptor requires all of the following except

A. the CD3 complex.

B. coexpression of CD4.

C. rearranged a and b chains.

D. b2-microglobulin. - Answer✔️✔️-3. Answer: D

Explanation: b2-Microglobulin associates with class I MHC molecules and several other

molecules with class I-like structures. The MHC molecules that are the targets of TH

cells (CD41 T cells) are class II MHC molecules. These do not contain b2-microglobulin.

The CD3 complex, rearranged a and b chains of the T-cell receptor, and the CD4

molecule are all important components for recognition of peptide antigens associated

with class II MHC molecules.

Question 4. Which of the following statements is true?

A. The extracellular domains of Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are homologous to the

corresponding domains of the IL-1 receptor.

B. All TLRs are cell-surface proteins.

C. TLRs are found on macrophages, dendritic cells,

neutrophils, and endothelial cells.

D. TLR4 is activated by CpG DNA. - Answer✔️✔️-4. Answer: C

Explanation: TLRs are found on many somatic cells, particularly ones that are involved

in early contact with microbes that invade the body through skin and mucosal tissues.

The intracellular domains of TLRs are homologous to the corresponding domains of the

IL- 1 receptor. Most TLRs are cell-surface proteins, but TLR3 and TLR9 are intracellular

proteins that interact with their ligands during the intracellular part of their lifecycle.

TLR4 is activated by LPS. TLR9, in contrast, is activated by bacterial CpG DNA.

Question 1. Which of the following statements regarding activa- tion of Toll-like receptor

(TLR) 9 in allergic responses is true?

A. Activation of TLR9 expressed by eosinophils inhibits generation of prostaglandin D2.

B. Activation of TLR9 expressed by CD41 cells inhibits generation of TH2 cytokines.

C. Activation of TLR9 expressed by dendritic cells inhibits TH2 cell generation of

cytokines.

D. Activation of TLR9 expressed by endothelial cells inhibits recruitment of TH2 cells to

sites of allergic inflammation. - Answer✔️✔️-1. Answer: C

Explanation: Because TLRs are highly expressed on dendritic cells but not on T cells,

the goal of TLR-based therapies in patients with allergy and asthma is to activate

dendritic cells to produce a cytokine milieu (eg, IL-12 and interferons) that favors

inhibition of the TH2 immune response.

Question 2. Which of the following human diseases is primarily caused by a defect in

the innate immune system?

A. IL-1 receptor-associated kinase 4 (IRAK4) deficiency

B. severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID)

C. X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA)

D. DiGeorge syndrome - Answer✔️✔️-2. Answer: A

Explanation: IRAK4 deficiency is a novel primary immunodeficiency specifically affecting

TLR function, which is a component of the innate immune system. IRAK4 is involved in

downstream signaling from most TLRs.

Question 3. One recognition strategy used by the innate immune system is to detect

conserved microbial components. Which of the following is an example of a well-

characterized innate im- mune system receptor-ligand pair?
