1 Please could you explain how lymphocytes (especially B) can maintain receptors on their surfaces? Is this genetically related? If so, when the lymphocytes are first exposed to the antigens, how could the antigen receptor be synthesized? Is there a mutation within the nuclei of these lymphocytes when they learn to make the receptors? If there is, can you explain how this occurs?

2 I understand how nuclear factor-B (NFB) works in the inflammatory response but what is the mechanism by which it causes cancer?

3 What are the diseases associated with hypocomplementaemia and which complement deficiency in particular?

4 What is meant by 'B lymphocytes are sensitive to clonal deletion'?

5 What are the immunological implications of 'bare lymphocyte syndrome'/MHC deficiency?

6 Please explain oligoclonal and monoclonal.

Can high doses of dexamethasone be used in acute relapses of multiple sclerosis (MS) in place of pulse methylprednisolone? If so, what is the recommended dosage?

10 What is meant by 'pus cell' and is this term synonymous with neutrophils?
