All of the above E. A and B only 14. Which of the following things is considered not a part of the innate immune response? A. Natural Killer cells B. neutrophils C. CD4+ T lymphocytes D. complement E. All of the things above are part of the innate immune response

Explanation / Answer

10. Option A is correct. In humans, the MHC complex consists of more than 200 genes located close together on chromosome 6. Genes in this complex are categorized into three basic groups: class I, class II, and class III. Humans have three main MHC class I genes, known as HLA-A, HLA-B, and HLA-C.

11. Option E is correct. L chain gene segment recombination occurs for the expression of transmembrane and secreted form of antibodies. RNA splicing removes excess base pairs to allow translation of a complete kappa chain.

12. Option A is correct. IgA is the main immunoglobulin found in mucous secretions, including tears,saliva, sweat, colostrum and secretions from the genitourinary tract, gastrointestinal tract, prostate and respiratory epithelium. It is also found in small amounts in blood.

13. Option A is correct. CD8+ T cells recognise peptides presented by MHC Class I molecules.

14. Option C is correct. CD4+ and T lymphocytes help innate immune cells.
