Which of the following best describes the difference in the way B cells and T cells deal with invaders? a. B cells provide permanent immunity; T cells provide temporary immunity. b. B cells send out antibodies that bind to invaders; T cells directly engage the invaders. c. T cells handle the primary immune response; B cells handle the secondary immune response. d. B cells are always ready "off the rack" to respond to an invader; T cells must be primed.

Which type(s) of immunity include(s) cells that are involved in the immune response to a specific antigenic epitope? Choose one or more: A. innate B. adaptive C. humoral D. cell-mediated 2a. T cells never bind to free-floating antigen. This statement is t/f 2b. T cells are activated only by antigen bound to another cell's surface. This statement is t/f 2c. More than one type of major histocompatibility complex proteins is integral to T-cell physiology. This statement is t/f 3. Within the immune cell interaction shown in Part 1, which of the following types of immunity are shown? Choose one or more: A. innate B. adaptive C. humoral D. cell-mediated 4. The primary antibody response differs from the secondary antibody response in that Choose one: A. antibodies appear in the serum sooner during the primary response. B. antibodies present during the primary response have a higher affinity for antigens than antibodies present during the secondary response. C. only the secondary antibody response is triggered by an encounter with an antigen; the primary antibody response occurs spontaneously. D. in the primary response, plasma cells differentiate from naive B cells, whereas in the secondary response, plasma cells may differentiate from memory B cells.
