Question 41 • TX-Biology B-CR

Arrange the following statements to create the proper order of events in the humoral immune response:1. The helper T cell interacts with antigen presented in an MHC-II molecule. 2. The B cell divides to produce memory B cells and effector B cells. 3. Antibodies specific for the antigen are produce in large numbers. 4. The helper T cell secretes interleukin-2. 5. The B cell presents antigen fragments specific for its surface antibodies using MHC-II molecules on the cell surface.

Answer
A
1, 3, 2, 5, 4
B
5, 1, 4, 2, 3
C
3, 4, 2, 5, 1
D
4, 2, 5, 1, 3
E
2, 4, 3, 1, 5

Explanation

First, the B cell binds its specific antigen and displays antigen fragments on MHC-II molecules (5). A helper T cell recognizes the presented antigen (1) and secretes interleukin-2 (4), which helps activate the B cell. The activated B cell divides into memory and effector B cells (2), and the effector cells produce large numbers of antigen-specific antibodies (3).
