a.Opsonize invading pathogens

b.Recruit immune cells to infection site

c.Form pores in bacterial and fungal cell membranes

d.Cleave covalent bonds in peptidoglycan

2. Some pathogenic bacteria produce ______ which protect the organism against the oxidative burst from _________.

d.C3 convertase                                                                   iv.   B Cells

3. What is extravasation?

a.The expansion of joints between endothelial cells allowing for the migration of immune cells and proteins access to infection sites.

b.Recruitment of macrophages to infected tissues.

c.The process by which Salmonella avoids killing by phagocytic cells.

d.Coating of a pathogen with C3b for uptake by macrophages.

4.Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome results from mutations in which complement component?

a.Factor I

b.Factor H

c.C3b

d.CR1

Explanation / Answer

1. C3a and C5a are proteins which effectively Recruit immune cells to the infection site. They are effective mediated of inflammation that targets a vast range of nonimmune and immune cells.

Hence, option(b) is correct answer

2. Some pathogenic bacteria produce catalase which defends the bacteria against the oxidative burst from phagocytic cells.

Hence, option (a)is correct.

  

3. extravasation is Recruitment of macrophages to infected tissues.

Hence, option (b) is the correct answer.

4.Atypical haemolytic uremic syndrome results from mutations in Factor H complement component.

Hence, option (b) is the correct answer.
