Before you begin

Lecture 6 of Microbiology — The Acquisition of Specific Immunity and Its Applications. Thirty questions, every one cited to the slide it came from. Covers the four kinds of acquired immunity and how to tell them apart; the leukocyte order and its mnemonic; the major histocompatibility complex, its two classes and the chromosome it sits on; clonal selection and why specificity exists before any antigen arrives; the special antigen categories — auto, allo, heterophilic, super and allergen; the five immunoglobulin classes with the features that separate them; the four antibody–antigen reactions; primary against secondary response; the four T-cell types; and the applications — passive immunotherapy, the monoclonal antibody naming endings, vaccine composition and criteria, and marrow donation. Built from the deck. This lecture was delivered on 11 September but no recording has surfaced, so nothing here depends on one. Where the deck is thin against an objective — laboratory tests appear only as titres, and the complement pathway comparison belongs to Lecture 5 — the questions follow the slides rather than filling the gap with invented content.
