TRUE ANSWER : ?
YOUR ANSWER : ?

The antibiotic penicillin is a small molecule that does not induce antibody formation. However, penicillin binds to serum proteins and forms a complex that in some people induces antibody formation resulting in an allergic reaction. Penicillin is therefore

a hapten

an antigen

both an antigen and a hapten

an immunogen

TRUE ANSWER : ?
YOUR ANSWER : ?

Which of the following is incorrect with regard to antigen epitopes?

An epitope may be shared by two different antigens

A protein molecule usually contains multiple epitopes

Epitopes may be linear or assembled

B cells bind only processed antigen epitopes

TRUE ANSWER : ?
YOUR ANSWER : ?

ability to enter the thyroid

size

degree of aggregation

dose

TRUE ANSWER : ?
YOUR ANSWER : ?

During the lag period between antigen contact and detection of adaptive immunity,

innate immune effectors are eliminating antigen

innate immunity blocks the activation of adaptive immune effector cells

antigen is hidden from the immune system in macrophages

new B and T cells with the appropriate antigen specificity must be produced in the bone marrow

TRUE ANSWER : ?

blood stream

lymph nodes

liver

bone marrow
