Which of the following is not a feature of B cells in the germinal centers of follicles Proliferation VDJ joining Apoptosis Somatic hypermutation Question 16 (1 point) Low amounts of antigen: Lead to production of low affinity antibodies Lead to class switching primarily to IgM Lead to production of high affinity antibodies Do not influence the affinity of antibodies

What are the advantages of antibody class switching and somatic hypermutation in producing B cells that are better able to defend against invaders?
Madhur L.
Blocking hypermutation would prevent which of the following? Choose one: A. affinity maturation B. heavy-chain VDJ rearrangement C. light-chain VJ rearrangement D. isotype class switching Which of the following best describes affinity maturation? Choose one: A. The class changing from IgM production to other antibody isotypes will occur after naive B cells bind their target antigen. B. Only B cells with the strongest binding antibodies as part of their B-cell receptors will remain activated. C. The rapid selection and proliferation of a subset of B cells will occur during the primary or secondary antibody response. D. Only T cells with the strongest binding antibodies as part of their T-cell receptors will remain activated.
