Explanation / Answer

1. Option D is correct

Explanation : A cytotoxic T cell (also known as TC, cytotoxic Tlymphocyte, CTL, T-killer cell, cytolytic T cell, CD8+T-cell or killer T cell) is a T lymphocyte (a type of white blood cell) that kills cancer cells, cells that are infected (particularly with viruses), or cells that are damaged in other ways.

When these cells are infected with a virus (or another intracellular pathogen), the cells degrade foreign proteins via antigen processing. These result in peptide fragments, some of which are presented byMHC Class I to the T cell antigen receptor (TCR) on CD8+ T cells.

2.Option D is correct

Explanation : The expression of co-stimulatory molecules and MHC class II are defining features of professional APCs. All professional APCs also express MHC class I molecules as well.

The main types of professional antigen-presenting cells are dendritic cells, macrophages and B cells.

3. Option A is correct

Explanation : A cytotoxic T cell (also known as TC, cytotoxic T lymphocyte, CTL, T-killer cell, cytolytic T cell, CD8+ T-cell or killer T cell) is a T lymphocyte (a type of white blood cell) that kills cancer cells, cellsthat are infected (particularly with viruses), or cells that are damaged in other ways.

The presence of foreign (viral) proteins on the the target cell surface. The combination of a viral protein (the foreign antigen) and the Class I MHC protein on a cell's surface indicates that the cell has been infected by a virus.

4. Option B is correct

Explanation : After the recovery of the disease Mumps, the body gets the Naturally Acquired Active Immunity. Since it is happening after the disease, it is called active.

5. Option D is correct

Explanation : A vaccination process is not inbuilt in our immune system, it is thus artificially put into our body. Also it works when the time needed i.e. when pathogen attacks thats why it is passive in nature.
