Immunology - Complement Pathway (6)

Questions: 6 | Attempts: 1713 | Last updated: Jan 16, 2019

Sample Question
Regarding the complement pathway, which one of the following is the most accurate?

C3 convertase protects normal cells from lysis by complement.

C3a is a decay-accelerating factor and causes the rapid decay and death of bacteria.

In general, gram-positive bacteria are more likely to be killed by complement than gram-negative bacteria.

The membrane attack complex is formed as a result of activation of the classic pathway but not by activation of the alternative pathway.

The first time a person is exposed to a microorganism, the alternative pathway of complement is more likely to be activated than the classic pathway.

What is the difference between Osmolality and Osmolarity?

Osmolality and osmolarity are two terms that are used to measure the amount of osmoles of solute present in a kilogram of solvent, and the number of osmoles that 1 liters of a solution contains, respectively. The term that explains the osmotic concen

What is the best way to differentiate B cells from T cells?

There are so many ways to differentiate B cells from T cells. Below are some notable differences: B cells are produced in the bone marrow, and they also mature in the Bone marrow. These cells produce and secrete antibodies. Antibodies fight against p

What is the advantage of VDRL over RPR?

CSF can be used as a specimen for VDRL. VDRL is an acronym for Venereal Disease Research Laboratory, and RPR is the acronym for Rapid Plasma Reagin. One major advantage that VDRL has over RPR is that VDRL can use Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) as a specim

What are the most specific cells containing antigens that agglutinate with heterophile antibodies?

The correct answer is Sheep erythrocytes. The most specific cells containing antigens that agglutinate with heterophile antibodies are sheep erythrocytes. Heterophile antibodies are weak antibodies than are produced due to responses to poorly defined
