E. Phagocytosis - ACCURATE ANSWER✅✅Coating of bacteria
Antibody opsonization is the process by which a pathogen is marked for ingestion
and eliminated by a phagocyte.

MHC Class I and II molecules differ in all of the following except
A. Types of T cells they stimulate
B. Types of cells they are expressed on
C. Which chromosome they are located on
D. Types of antigens they present
E. Whether or not they have foreign peptides in the antigen-binding groove -
ACCURATE ANSWER✅✅Which chromosome they are located on
The primary role of the proteasome in antigen presentation is to
A. Prevent premature folding of MHC class I molecules
B. Process cytoplasmic proteins
C. Degrade recycled MHC molecules
D. Bind HLA-DM in the endosome
E. Chaperone peptides to the cell surface - ACCURATE ANSWER✅✅Process
cytoplasmic proteins
The main function of the proteasome is to degrade unneeded or damaged proteins
by proteolysis, a chemical reaction that breaks peptide bonds.

class II molecules in all
, Except which of the following ways?
A. They are shorter
B. They were processed by different proteases
C. They anchor in the middle instead of the end of the MHC molecule
D. They interact with different subsets of T cells - ACCURATE
ANSWER✅✅They anchor in the middle instead of the end of the MHC
molecule
HLA-DM is primarily involved in the
A. Activation of cytotoxic T cells
B. Loading antigen onto HLA-DR molecules
C. Preventing HLA-A molecules from folding prior to antigen binding
D. Rejection of islet grafts
E. Induction of diabetes mellitus - ACCURATE ANSWER✅✅Loading antigen
onto HLA-DR molecules
The antigen-binding site of an antibody is comprised of which of the following?
A. The variable region of the light and heavy chains
B. The variable region of the light chain only
C. The entire light chain
D. The entire heavy chain
E. The Fc portion of the immunoglobulin molecule - ACCURATE
ANSWER✅✅The variable region of the light and heavy chains
The immunoglobulin that binds the most complement is
