Question

Which of the following is NOT an accurate statement about the innate and/or adaptive immune responses?

A) Cells that first must be selectively activated to tailor their response against a specific pathogen confer adaptive immunity. B) Innate immunity is inherent in all animals and is ready to go from the moment of birth, whereas adaptive immunity is found only in vertebrates and must be activated. C) Adaptive immune response is much slower than innate immune response. D) The inflammatory response involving certain leukocytes is an example of innate immunity, whereas adaptive immune response involves special leukocytes known as T or B cells. E) The innate immune response generates immunologic memory.

Explanation / Answer

E) The innate immune response generates immunologic memory ------> FALSE (Adaptive immune response generates memory B cells, which can specifically act against particular pathogens upon their second exposure onwards. Memory B cells are not produced by innate immune response, which is non-specific rapid immune response).
