1. Neutralizing antibodies are effective at preventing
infection or toxicity mediated by pathogens or their toxic products. In fact, nearly all vaccines currently in use function by eliciting neutralizing antibodies. The most important feature of a neutralizing antibody is:
A. Having a high degree of multi-valency, such as being a pentamer or hexamer of immunoglobulin monomers
B. Having high affinity for the antigen
C. Being present at a high concentration in the circulation
D. Being efficient at activating the complement cascade
E. Having a long half-life in the body

2. IgM antibodies are much more efficient than IgG at activating the complement cascade. However, under certain circumstances, IgG antibodies will activate the complement pathway. One example of a situation in which IgG binding to its antigen will
NOT trigger the complement cascade is when:
A. The IgG antibodies bind to a multivalent soluble antigen in solution, such as a polysaccharide structure shed from a bacterial pathogen.
B. The IgG antibodies bind to a viral capsid protein that is present in more than 100 copies on the viral particle surface.
C. The IgG antibodies bind to a bacterial surface by recognizing a repetitive polysaccharide component of the bacterial capsule.
D. The IgG antibodies are binding self-antigens such as chromatin released from dead cells.
E. The IgG antibodies are neutralizing a bacterial toxin protein by blocking the receptor-attachment site on the toxin.

3. Antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) is an important effector mechanism in immunity to virus infections. This immune pathway has also been exploited for clinical applications. For instance, patients with
various disorders, including rheumatoid arthritis and some B cell lymphomas, are treated with an antibody directed at CD20, a surface receptor expressed on all B cells. This antibody leads to the depletion of B cells from the patients by the actions of:
A. Natural killer (NK) cells
B. Cytotoxic CD8 T cells
C. Cytotoxic CD4 T cells
D. Activated macrophages
E. The complement cascade membrane attack complex

For each of the following, identify the antibody or antibodies (if more than one) that meet each of the following criteria. Briefly (about one sentence or less) answer the follow-up question.

a)________ Only antibody formed in the absence of TH-B cell interaction (T-independent pathway). What types of antigen allow this mechanism of B cell activation? b)________ Able to activate the complement cascade. What are three consequences of complement activation?

c)________ Able to initiate ADCC. What happens during ADCC?

d)________ Able to opsonize a pathogen. What is another opsonin that we talked about in Bio 221?

e)________ Main antibody secreted across mucosal surfaces. How do bacteria that use this portal of entry prevent this antibody from finding them?

f)________ Used to prevent Rh- moms from being sensitized against an Rh+ baby. Briefly explain how this type of hypersensitive reaction could kill subsequent babies.

g)________ Found on the surface of a naÃ¯ve B cell. What is a ânaÃ¯veâ B cell?

h)________ Responsible for the allergic response What happens during the two exposures required for the allergic response? (>1 sentence is OK)

i)________ Used in artificial passive immunizations What is the difference between âactiveâ and âpassiveâ immunity? State some examples.
