Immunology Quizzes & Trivia

Quiz Preview

  • 2. 

    All immunogens are NOT antigens

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    All immunogens ARE antigens but all antigens are NOT immunogens

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    How many CDRs occur in each variable region?

    • 1

    • 2

    • 3

    • 4

    Correct Answer
    A. 3
    Explanation
    The variable region of a CDR (Complementary Determining Region) is responsible for the antigen recognition and binding in antibodies. In this question, it is stated that there are multiple variable regions. Since the answer is 3, it suggests that there are 3 CDRs occurring in each variable region. This implies that each variable region has 3 distinct regions responsible for antigen binding, making it a total of 9 CDRs.

  • 4. 

    The variable region of the immunoglobulin determines the effector functions

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The constant region determines effector functions; the variable region determines antigen specificity

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    Which portion of the antibody is the most immunogenic?

    • Variable region

    • Fragment Crystallizable

    • Fragment Antigen Binding

    • Hinge Region

    Correct Answer
    A. Fragment Crystallizable
    Explanation
    The Fragment Crystallizable (Fc) portion of the antibody is the most immunogenic. This is because the Fc region is responsible for binding to immune cells and triggering an immune response. It interacts with receptors on immune cells, such as Fc receptors, and activates various immune pathways. The Fc region is highly conserved among different antibodies and is recognized by the immune system as a foreign antigen, leading to the production of antibodies against it. Therefore, the Fc region is considered to be the most immunogenic portion of the antibody.
