cells to prevent cytokine release.
B. An immune response directed against self antigens after the
immune system has responded to foreign antigens with similar
molecular structure.
C. Autoantibodies are formed in response to defective Cytotoxic
T cell programming.

,Answers B. An immune response directed against self antigens
after the immune system has responded to foreign antigens with
similar molecular structure.
1st exposure of hypersensitivity Correct Answers allergen is
processed by the immune system.
-1st time no symptoms
-Plasma cells produce antibodies (IgE) against the allergen
-IgE becomes fixed on mast cells
They are now termed "sensitized mast cells"
2nd exposure Correct Answers allergen binds with IgE causing
degranulation of Mast Cell and release of histamine
-Histamine causes vasodilation and increased capillary
permeability resulting in the signs and symptoms of the allergic
response

weeks. She says she "aches all over" (particularly her shoulders
and hips). Physical examination reveals a butterfly shaped facial
rash. Laboratory findings include a positive test for anti nuclear

and a near normal CBC. Given the laboratory findings and the
results of the lab work, you tentatively diagnose her with:
A. Multiple Sclerosis
B. Myasthenia Gravis
C. Rheumatoid arthritis
D. Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Correct Answers D.
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
A 27-year-old woman is given intravenous penicillin to treat
infective endocarditis. Within minutes of starting this therapy,

to be produced by release of which of the following chemical
mediators?
A. Interleukin 1
B. IgG
C. MAC
D. Histamine
E. Perforin Correct Answers D. Histamine
