Draw a well-labelled diagram of an antibody molecule.
Consider the following statements about acquired immunity: 1. It is pathogen-specific and characterised by memory. 2. Primary immune response is of high intensity while secondary response is weaker. 3. T-lymphocytes mediate cell-mediated immunity (CMI). 4. Antibody structure consists of two light and two heavy peptide chains, represented as H₂L₂. 5. Antibody-mediated response is also called humoral immune response. Which of the above statements are correct?
Correct answer: D — 1, 3, 4, 5 only
Statement 1: Correct — acquired immunity is pathogen-specific with memory. Statement 2: Incorrect — primary response is weak; secondary (anamnestic) is strong. Statement 3: Correct — T-lymphocytes mediate cell-mediated immunity. Statement 4: Correct — antibodies have two light and two heavy chains (H₂L₂). Statement 5: Correct — antibody-mediated response is also called humoral response. Correct statements are 1, 3, 4, 5.
