EXTENDED RESPONSE QUESTIONS- EXAMPLES
1.
Describe how innate and adaptive immunity act co-operatively to protect the
host. Describe the interdependence of these two forms of immunity and how
having both types of immunity enhances protection against infection.
2.
Name 3 immunodeficiency conditions, and describe the specific immunological
defects leading to each of these conditions
3.
Name the primary and secondary lymphoid organs, and describe their
function(s) in human immune responses.
4.
Describe the four types of hypersensitivity reactions, using an example of each
type of hypersensitivity, outline the immunological mechanisms involved.
5.
Give 3 examples of laboratory assays based on immunological principles,
outlining in detail the immunological mechanisms which form the basis of each
test.
6.
Give 2 detailed examples of co-dependence and/or interaction between humoral
and cell-mediated immune responses.
7.
Describe the immunological responses involved in allograft rejection.
8.
Compare and contrast passive and active immunity and give an example of the
artificial transfer of these types of immunity
