Cell Mediated Immunity is accomplished by:
a. Capsids
b. HLA proteins
c. WBG proteins
d. T- Memory cells
This is just a clarificatory comment for those who were absent today. Cell-mediated immunity is accomplished by T-cells, which include helper T-cells, killer T-cells, and memory or suppressor T-cells. These T-cells contain HLA proteins. So both "B" and "D" are partially correct answers. The most general answer would simply be that cell-mediated immunity is accomplished by T-cells.

Which is not an example of a pathogen?
A. Virus
B. Worm
C. Antigen
D. Protist
This is a clarificatory remark for those to were absent today: In writing this question, I think Brittany was trying to distinguish between the definition of a pathogen and the definition of an antigen. Remember, a pathogen is anything that causes disease and an antigen is anything that triggers and immune response. In many ways, all four answer choices are partially correct and also partially incorrect. What you want to get out of this question is that all pathogens are antigens but not all antigens are pathogens.
