If a naïve B cell becomes activated by antigen in the mucosa of the respiratory tract, then which of the following would NOT occur? ? lactating mothers will provide antigen-specific natural IgA in breast milk ? antigen-specific secretory IgA will later be synthesized in the lamina propria of all mucosae ? the B cell does not re-enter the bloodstream but instead remains only in the respiratory mucosa to become an effector B cell ? the B cell will recirculate and enter any mucosal tissues, including respiratory or gastrointestinal

At the follicular dendritic cell surface, B cells (centrocytes) with low affinity receptors (Fab sites) for antigen: exhibit diminishing contribution to secondary antibody responses. exert a dominant contribution to subsequent responses to the specific antigen. die by apoptosis. respond to different antigenic epitopes. recycle to become mature virgin B cells. The major serum antibody isotype produced in response to primary immunization with a protein containing that peptide is: IgA IgG IgM IgD IgE Antibodies do NOT: neutralize virus attachment to susceptible host cells opsonize encapsulated Gram-positive bacteria lyse Gram-negative enteric bacilli initiate heavy chain gene rearrangement in stem cells neutralize tetanus exotoxin
