| Most human viruses enter the host cell with receptor mediated endocytosis or fusion of the endonucleus with the cell membrane | – True |
| Dendritic cells are the best APC for extracellular bacterial pathogens, B cells are best APC for bacterial toxins. | – True |
| Candida – | opportunistic yeast infection |
| Chlamydia – | Poor memory response due to IgA, STI |

| H. pylori – | stomach ulcers and cancer |
| N. fowlerii – | makes a nest in the brain cavity, hard to treat |
| S. Aureus - | contains super antigen, can produce cytokine storm |
| S. pneumonia – | contains a capsule so it cannot be phagocytized |
| S. pyogenies – | can cause necrotizing fasciitis |
| Most childhood vaccinations are not? | – Theraputic |

| Most important in developing tolerance | – T-reg |
| Tolerance to foreign antigen is easier to attain in newborns than in adults | – True |
| Transplant patient cannot build tolerance to transplant and must be on immune suppressors for life | – False |
| Exposure to high amounts of antigen over time can generate tolerance | – True |
