15. Given below are some human organs. Identify one primary and one secondary lymphoid organ. Explain its role. Liver, thymus, stomach, thyroid, tonsils
Primary Lymphod organ - Thymus
• They play a vital role in synthesizing of 'T' Lymphocytes.
• This T-Lymphocytes involve in cell mediated Immunity
Secondary Lymphoid Organ - Tonsils
• It helps to fight infections.
• They stop invading germs including bacteria and viruses.
16. Name and explain the type of barriers which involve macrophages.
• The barrier that involve macrophages are phagocytic barrier of Innate immunity.
• Phagocytic barrier just engulf's the pathogenic Organism or its products and digest or neutralise it.
• These macrophages are large irregular shaped cells.
• The monocytes only get converted into macrophages.
• These macrophages are provided with Bacteriolytic enzymes and free radicals, that destroy the pathogen.
17. What are interferons? Mention their role.
• Interferons are the antiviral protein secreted by the virus infected cells.
• Interferon makes the nearby cells resistant to viral infection.
• Interferons are glycoprotein molecules.
• It is secreted by the Leucocytes and Fibroblasts.
18. List out chemical alarm signals produced during inflammation.
The chemical alarm signals produced during inflammation are
• Histamine, Serotonin and prostaglandins.
• These are secreted by the damaged mast cells.
19. Explain the process of replication of retrovirus after it gains entry into the human body.
• The virus enters into macrophages.
• RNA Genome of the Virus replicated to form Viral DNA by the enzyme reverse transcriptase.
• The viral DNA combines with the macrophage.
• The macrophages continue to produce virus.
• Thus the macrophages acts like a HIV factory.
• The progeny viruses released in the blood.

• The molecular weight of H chain is 50,000 daltons, with approx 450 amino acids.
• The polypeptide chains are linked together by disulphide (s-s) bonds.
• Each L chain attach to H-chain and two H-chain are attached to each other to form 'Y' shaped structure.
• Each chain has two ends - carboxyl end and amino end.
• The amino end is the variable region.
• The carboxyl end is the constant region
21. What are the cells involved in innate immune system?

24. Autoimmunity is a misdirected immune response Justify.
• Auto immunity is due to an abnormal immune response.
• Immune system fails to properly distinguish self and non-self antigens.
• Our body produce antibodies and Cytotoxic T cells that destroys our Own tissues.
• It is referred as auto-immune disease.
• Thus auto immunity is a misdirected immune response.
