a) C3a
b) C4a
c) C5a
d) C1
13. In alternate pathway
a) factor b is involved
b) factor d is involved
c) both a and b
d) Only factor f is involved
14. Biological role of complement system include
a) cytolysis and chemotaxis
b) opsonisation
c) anaphylotoxin and enhanced antibody production
d) all of these
15. Body’s own cells are protected from membrane attack complex by a surface glycoprotein called
a) MHC
b) DAF
c) TCR
d) BCR
Answers:
1. c) both a and b
2.c) both a and b
3. d) all of these
4. a) antibody-antigen complexes
5. c) microorganisms or its toxins
6. c) both a and b
7. c) both a and b
8. c) C3b
9. c) membrane attacking complex
10. a) C5b6789 complex
11. a) Ca
12. c) C5a.( Anaphylotoxins: induces the release of inflammatory mediators like histamines from the mast cells. C3a, C4a and C5a are the anaphylatoxins of which C5a is the most potent)
13. c) both a and b
14. d) all of these
15. b) DAF (Human cells have a glycoprotein situated on the cell surface called as decay accelerating factor (DAF). DAF prevents the formation of membrane attack complex by destabilizing C3 and C5 convertase.)
