1. Selective theory Antigen receptor binding activates cell, leading to prolif-
eration and secretion.
2. Instructional theo- Antigen receptor molds itself to the antigen.

3. Serendipity in Pas- Chickens previously exposed to attenuated cholera bac-
teur's cholera vac- teria were protected, leading to weakened pathogen
cine discovery use in vaccines.
4. Smallpox as a Eradication led to decreased vaccination, leaving an
bioterrorism threat increasing percentage of the population susceptible.
5. Thimerosal and Despite removal, autism cases continued to rise after
autism 2001.
6. Vaccines vs. antibi- Vaccines prevent, while antibiotics treat; prevention is
otics the gold standard for infectious disease control.
7. Flu shot vs. chick- Flu virus changes yearly, requiring new vaccines; pro-
enpox vaccine tection is specific and not guaranteed across related
pathogens.
8. Benefit and draw- Benefit: diverse pathogen recognition; Drawback: po-
back of random B tential targeting of host antigens.

13. B-cell receptors vs. Both recognize foreign antigens; B-cell receptors are
PRRs more selective; PRRs are inherited, while B-cell recep-
tor DNA is not passed on.
14. Establishment of Self-tolerance mechanisms inhibit immune response to
tumors in human self-originating cancerous cells; genetic variability aids
