1Autoimmunity is characterized by all the following except
- AIt is when your immune system is acting against you
- BThese are acute disease with evidence of active infection
- CIt is due to failure of tolerance (both central and peripheral)
- Dnone of the above
2Negative selection in the bone marrow and thymus means removal of self reactive antigen during development
- ARichtig
- BFalsch
3All of the following are a feature of peripheral tolerance except?
- ANo lymphocyte access to some tissues - ignorance
- BInduction of anergy in autoreactive B and T cells
- CSuppression of autoimmune responses by regulatory T cells - Foxp3
- DExpression of tissue specific protein in thymus - Aire
4Central deletion or inactivation of newly formed lymphocytes is the first checkpoint of self-tolerance
- ARichtig
- BFalsch
5Autoimmune Regulator (AIRE) is essential for acquisition of central T cell tolerance
- ARichtig
- BFalsch
6APECED syndrome is due to inactivating mutation of Foxp3
- ARichtig
- BFalsch
7all of the following are true about IPEX syndrome except
- AAutosomal dominant
- BInactivating mutation or deletion of Foxp3
- CPolyendrocrinopathy
- DT reg absent or non-function
8All of the following about B cell tolerance are true except?
- ADeletion of self reactive IgM B cells in bone marrow is 100% efficient
- BWe all have autoreactive B cells
- CUnder normal circumstances a parallel autoreactive T cell will be absent and or a T reg will be present, so you are unlikely to have T cell help for autoreactive B cells
- DThe presence of autoreative B cell becomes obvious as one ages and loses T cell mediated regulation
9All of the following are true about auto immune diseases except
- AMHC molecules which are able to efficiently present self antigen
- BA failure to delete or functional inactivate self reactive lymphocytes - Breakdown of immunological tolerance

- ARichtig
- BFalsch
14An example for intermolecular epitope spreading is Pemphigus
- ARichtig
- BFalsch
15Over-expression of anti-inflammatory molecules and Underexpression of Pro-inflammatory molecules - is the aberrant expression seen in autoimmune diseases
- ARichtig
- BFalsch
