Question 1

Correct Answer:

Verified

Recognition of something as foreign or "non-self" is all about structure and shape.Cowpox can render immunity to smallpox based on similar shapes of their viral antigens.The cowpox virus evokes an immune response that produces antibodies and memory cells,and when similarly shaped smallpox viruses enter the body,a prompt,strong immune response follows.Basically the same thing happens with autoimmune disorders.When a pathogen that has antigens shaped similarly to body tissues (e.g.,has amino acid sequences similar to those found on body tissues)invades the body,it evokes an immune response that may also attack those similarly shaped tissues.
