  1. To recognize and bind to antigens presented on MHC molecules.
  2. To produce antibodies against pathogens.
  3. To activate B cells and differentiate them into plasma cells.
  4. To release cytokines and chemokines to regulate immune responses.
Question 2 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

What are the two main types of T cell receptors?

  1. Alpha-beta (αβ) and gamma-delta (γδ)
  2. Immunoglobulin (Ig) and T cell receptor (TCR)
  3. Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I and class II
  4. Interleukin (IL) and interferon (IFN)
Question 3 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

  1. MHC class I
  2. MHC class II
  3. Both MHC class I and class II
  4. Neither MHC class I nor class II

  1. MHC class I
  2. MHC class II
  3. Both MHC class I and class II
  4. Neither MHC class I nor class II
Question 5 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

What is the role of CD4 and CD8 co-receptors in T cell activation?

  1. They bind to MHC molecules and help stabilize the interaction between the TCR and MHC-antigen complex.
  2. They bind to antigens and help deliver them to the TCR.
  3. They bind to other T cells and help form an immunological synapse.
  4. They bind to cytokines and help regulate T cell responses.
Question 6 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

What is the role of the TCR complex in T cell activation?

  1. It recognizes and binds to antigens presented on MHC molecules.
  2. It transmits signals into the T cell that lead to activation.
  3. It helps stabilize the interaction between the TCR and MHC-antigen complex.
  4. All of the above
Question 7 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

What is the role of the CD3 complex in T cell activation?

  1. It recognizes and binds to antigens presented on MHC molecules.
  2. It transmits signals into the T cell that lead to activation.
  3. It helps stabilize the interaction between the TCR and MHC-antigen complex.
  4. None of the above
Question 8 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

What is the role of the ζ-chain in T cell activation?

  1. It binds to the TCR and helps stabilize the TCR-MHC-antigen interaction.
  2. It transmits signals into the T cell that lead to activation.
  3. It helps recruit other signaling molecules to the TCR complex.
  4. All of the above
Question 9 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)
