2. 
   What are the major functions of complement?
   

3. 
   Compare the two pathways in which complement is activated:

   In positive selection, what happens if the T cell recognizes the self-MHC?
   

In positive selection, what happens if the T cell fails to recognize the self-MHC?

3. 
   In negative selection, what happens if the T cell recognizes the self-antigen?
   

In negative selection, what happens if the T cell fails to recognize the self-antigen?

4.

2. 
   What are some examples of APC’s?
   

1. 
   Where do antibodies come from?
   
2. 
   What is the functional region of the antibody (recognize antigens)?
   
3. 
   What region of the antibody determines antibody class, binding, and antigen elimination?
   
4. 
   Name the 5 classes of antibodies and the major function for each:
