-An activated B cell will kill infected host cells.
-An activated B cell divides into cells that give rise to memory B cells and plasma cells.
-An activated B cell will immediately begin to produce antibodies.

question
Memory B cells
answer
The student who caught the cold caused by this specific Rhinovirus was exposed to the exact same Rhinovirus 18 months later. What component of the immune system will protect her from getting the same cold again?
Dendritic cells
Plasma cells
Memory B cells
Antibodies that are "left over" from the last infection
question
2,4,1,3
answer
Correctly order the steps involved cellular immunity:
1 - The Tc recognizes the infected host cell
2 - The Tc interacts with epitope presented by MHC-I on the dendritic cell
3 - The Tc secretes perforin and granzyme, causing apoptosis
4 - The helper T cell activates the Tc cell

question
2,1,4,3,5
answer
Place the following steps of phagocytosis in the order that they occur:
1 - Endosome fuses with lysozome
2 - Dendritic cell engulfs Rhinovirus
3 - Epitopes are attached to MHC-II
4 - Digestion of the Rhinovirus
5 - MHC-II plus the attached epitope move to the outside of the dendritic cell
