1The cells that leave the thymus and travel to the periphery are:
- Adouble negative T cells
- Bimmature T cells
- Csingle positive T cells
- Ddouble positive T cells
- Eeffector T cells
2Positive selection in the thymus includes:
- AT cells that interact with high avidity to a dendritic cell expressing self MHC are deleted
- BT cells that do not bind at all to self MHC molecules and self peptide are selected
- CT cells that interact with low avidity to thymic epithelial cells are selected
- DNone of the above
3Generation of diversity in T cells is very similar to that of B cells EXCEPT that T cells do not:
- AUndergo somatic hypermutation
- BHave multiple genes in the germ line
- CUndergo junctional and insertional diversity
- DUndergo random combination of chains
- ENone of the above
4All of the following statements about superantigens are true EXCEPT:
- ASuperantigens are required to be processed by the APC for presentation to T cells via the MHC
- BSuperantigen activation results in the massive production of cytokines by CD4+ T cells
- CSuperantigens can be produced by bacteria (Staphlococcal bacteria), viruses (Rabies virus) and mycoplasms
- DSuperantigens activate all T cells with a particular V-beta gene segment on the TCR, irrespective of their V-alpha expression.
5The first signal of T cell activation requires interaction between:
- AThe antigen-MHC complex on the APC and the TCR and CD4 or CD8 on the T cell
- BThe antigen-MHC complex on T cells and TCR on the APC
- CThe antigen-MHC complex on the APC andthe TCR plus co-stimulatory molecules
- DThe antigen-MHC complex on the APC and the BCR and CD4
6Which one of the following statements is FALSE?
- AThe first signal for a T cell to become activated is recognition of specific peptide bound to a MHC I or MHC II molecule on an APC by the T cell receptor
- BThe second signal for naïve T cell activation is provided by the co-stimulatory molecule CD95
- CIf a T cell receives the first signal through the TCR but not the costimulatory second signal, the T cell may become anergic or undergo apoptosis
- DThe third signal of T cell activation is provided by cytokines
7Which one of the following statements is TRUE
- AOnce common lymphoid precursors arrive in the thymus and migrate to the outer cortex they differentiate into Pro-T cells which have the phenotype CD4-CD8-TCR+CD3-
- BMaturing T cells migrate deeper into the cortex, they start to express CD3 and TCRβ chain and are known as double positive T cells
- CNegatives election occurs prior to positive selection in the thymus
- DDuring negative selection, T lymphocytes whose TCRs bind strongly to self-peptide/MHC complexes get eliminated
8Superantigens have been implicated in several diseases. What properties of superantigens distinguish them from conventional antigens?
- AThey bind to the outside of the MHC binding groove
- BThey do not require MHC processing
- CCan artificially bridge the TCR and MHC
- DThey bind with the conserved regions of the Vβ domain
- EThey induce enormous T cell proliferation (2-20%) as compared to 0.001% for a conventional Ag
- FAll of these
- GNone of these
