Explanation / Answer

1.c) hypersensitivity to tuberculoprotein

2.b) Blood from animal that has developed antibodies to a specific antigen

3.e) none of the above because the advantgae is it is specific to its antigen and antibody

4.b) Neutralization of certain potent bacterial toxins

5. c) It must be a large molecule and possess at least two different determinant groups. it should initiate immune response at first

6. b) Symbiosis

7.a) direct injection
