IMMUNE SYSTEM QUIZ

A protein bound to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane

A cell surface protein

A cytosolic protein

A nuclear protein

B cells that recognize high concentrations of antigens (self) in the absence of other signals undergo apoptosis in the bone marrow

B cells can undergo class switching and produce a different antibody type

B one marrow stem cells migrate to the thymus and develop into B cells

B cells synthesize antibodies and put them on their cell surface

eosinophils

neutrophils

basophils

monocytes

Antibody proteins can physically change their shape to bind different epitopes

By rearrangements of the DNA encoding the variable regions of the heavy and light chains

Both (a) and (b)

By the combination of different heavy and light chains that form the antigen binding site

recognize peptides associated with MHC class II molecules

recognize peptides associated with MHC class I molecules

recognize peptides not associated with MHC molecules

are secreted out into the environment to bind antigens
